Predy说，自从九十年代中期以来，乙肝预防一直是本省各学校免疫工程的一部分，所以20岁以下人群因该不至于被传染。9 v9 c7 J3 u. e% c: L$ o6 t

Dr. Gerry Predy says the risk of infection to Byron Wong's patients is very small. (CBC)
+ [7 \, d+ a; D"We did a risk analysis of the potential risk of this dentist transmitting the effect to his patient, and the risk is very small. We estimate somewhere 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100,000, probably close to the 1 in 100,000 figure."

Hepatitis B has been part of the province's school immunization program since the mid-1990s, so most people aged up to the mid-20s should be protected, Predy said.

Officials even debated whether to issue a public warning because the risk is so small, but in the end, they concluded people would want to know, Predy said.2 J$ D, w, u1 l

Capital Health will start contacting Wong's 1,400 patients in the near future to offer them hepatitis B tests, a process that was expected to take a couple of months. |
