Accomplishments

In my second year as the Perinatal Hepatitis B Coordinator, I received communication from the CDC indicating that our state ranked among the top ten in effectively preventing the vertical transmission of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) from mother to infant. This accomplishment is attributed to our systematic approach in ensuring that newborns receive the essential Hepatitis B vaccine and Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (HBIG) at birth, followed by the completion of the recommended vaccination series.
