Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program

The San Mateo County Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program was created in the fall of 2007 to help prevent the spread of the Hepatitis B virus from pregnant women infected with Hepatitis B to their newborn children.

We work closely with obstetric, pediatric and hospital providers in order to meet the following goals:

  • Identification and education of pregnant women infected with Hepatitis B residing in San Mateo County.
  • Institution of appropriate and timely immunoprophylaxis for infants born to women infected with Hepatitis B.
  • Postvaccination serologic testing of exposed infants.
  • Screening and vaccination of susceptible household, sexual and needle-sharing contacts.
