Description: |
|
|
|
Our STD Hepatitis Vaccination Program
began in April 1995. The majority of upstate New York counties participate in
the program. Clients attending the clinic are counseled and offered free
vaccination for hepatitis A & hepatitis B virus infections. Those who accept the
vaccine are tracked and recalled for completion of their vaccine series.
Participating clinics file a monthly report that indicates the number of clients
and number of doses they received. This information is compiled at the New York
State Department of Health.
