Advocating for Access to 2-dose Hepatitis Vaccine
Wednesday, June 11 | 4 – 5 PM
RSVP
Description:
The Immunization Alliance for Equity and Access (IAEA) is continuing their advocacy to expand access to Hep B vaccines, particularly for those at increased risk.
They are currently focusing advocacy in California, by urging major health care payers to update their Hep B vaccination practices by expanding availability of the proven more effective (and faster) 2-dose over a month Hep B vaccine series, rather than continued reliance on the 3-dose over six months vaccine. We believe that the adoption of the 2-dose vaccine for adult patients will result in higher completion rates, improve public health, save more lives, and help move the nation toward elimination.
Join this webinar to learn more about the community letter and hear from Dr. Marina Roytman, Health Sciences Clinical Professor, Gastroenterology Department, UCSF Fresno.
