Predy说，自从九十年代中期以来，乙肝预防一直是本省各学校免疫工程的一部分，所以20岁以下人群因该不至于被传染。

Dr. Gerry Predy says the risk of infection to Byron Wong's patients is very small. (CBC)
% a) p- f' |$ A5 `5 i. r"We did a risk analysis of the potential risk of this dentist transmitting the effect to his patient, and the risk is very small. We estimate somewhere 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100,000, probably close to the 1 in 100,000 figure."

Hepatitis B has been part of the province's school immunization program since the mid-1990s, so most people aged up to the mid-20s should be protected, Predy said.

Officials even debated whether to issue a public warning because the risk is so small, but in the end, they concluded people would want to know, Predy said.
