Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): The primary purpose of this study is to estimate the SPR (percent of patients with an anti-HBs titer >= 10 mIU/mL) at 1 month after the third and fourth doses for the modified process hepatitis B vaccine and ENGERIX B
Secondary Objective: - Among dialysis patients and predialysis patients who receive 4 doses of either modified process hepatitis B vaccine or ENGERIX-B, to describe (1 month after the fourth dose of the vaccine) the SPR for the modified process hepatitis B vaccine and ENGERIX-B. - To describe the safety and tolerability of the modified process hepatitis B vaccine in dialysis and predialysis patients.
Main Objective: Among dialysis patients and predialysis patients who receive 3 doses of either modified process hepatitis B vaccine or ENGERIX-B, to describe (1 month after the third dose of vaccine) the seroprotection rate (SPR) for the modified process hepatitis B vaccine and ENGERIX-B.
