Perinatal Hep B Program

Perinatal Hepatitis B Program Resources

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 prenatal care providers, laboratories, hospitals, primary care providers and the local/state health departments.
