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.
