Doctors working in hospitals remain constantly exposed to patients, blood samples, and bodily fluids, placing them at a higher risk of contracting serious infections such as Hepatitis B. Recognising this occupational risk, the vaccination camp was organised to ensure better protection and long-term health security for young medical professionals.
