D5: Hepatitis B Vaccination of High-Risk Adolescents | |||
| With the widespread adoption of universal infant immunization against hepatitis B, and with the implementation of adolescent hepatitis B immunization, a highly immune cohort is developing among persons ages 0-15 years in the U.S. Older adolescents with high-risk behaviors may not have been reached by infant immunization, nor by school-based programs. This workshop will present programs intended to reach these individuals and explore their success. | |||
| Learning Objectives: After attending this workshop, participants should be able to list three key messages that have been successfully delivered to at-risk teens.
