Description: |

The Perinatal Hepatitis B Program's
primary goals are to identify all hepatitis B suface antigen positive pregnant
women and conduct case management of all identified infants at risk of acquiring
perinatal hepatitis B, so their newborns can receive timely and appropriate
immunoprophylaxis.
