Dialysis: Intradermal HBV vaccination is preferable in non-responders.

Abstract
In patients on hemodialysis with a history of failure to respond to hepatitis B vaccination, intradermal revaccination is more effective than repeat intramuscular vaccination. Intradermal vaccine administration might become the standard of care for high-risk patients.
