"Hepatitis B vaccine has reduced global prevalence of chronic hepatitis B in children under 5 from 4.7% in the 1980s to less than 1% today. Vaccination programs have reduced new infections among kids by over 95% - in areas with high vaccine uptake."

Probably not vaccine for kids but vaccinated and screened moms and treating with HBIG. Most of this decrease proceeded childhood immunization and kids with noninfected mothers are extremely unlikely to acquire this STI even if not vaccinated.
