Perinatal Hep B Manual: Family Practice Provider (2012)

Agency: Community Health

The Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program was established in 1991 to prevent hepatitis B transmission from pregnant women to their infants and household and sexual contacts. Prevention of perinatal hepatitis B transmission requires the coordinated transfer of information between primary care providers, hospitals, laboratories, and the state and local health departments. 

This manual was updated in May 2012.
