Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

The United Kingdom has a selective immunisation policy for hepatitis B which targets people at risk of hepatitis B. Recommendations for vaccination are outlined in Chapter 18 of the Green Book: Immmunisation against Infectious Disease, available to view here:
