Final answer:

In a health-care setting, the transmission of HBV can be reduced through vaccination, strict infection control measures, and education and training.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a health-care setting, there are several ways to reduce the transmission of HBV (Hepatitis B):

  1. Vaccination: Get vaccinated against HBV. Vaccination is a crucial step in preventing infection among health-care workers. Although vaccination is not always 100% effective, it significantly reduces the risk of transmission.
  2. Strict infection control measures: Follow proper infection control protocols, such as proper hand hygiene, wearing gloves and other personal protective equipment, using sterile equipment, and safely disposing of sharps.
  3. Education and training: Provide comprehensive education and training to health-care workers about the risks of HBV transmission and how to protect themselves and their patients.
