A comprehensive immunization strategy to eliminate transmission of hepatitis B virus infection in the United States: recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) part 1: immunization of infants, children, and adolescents

TL;DR: This report provides updated recommendations to improve prevention of perinatal and early childhood HBV transmission, including implementation of universal infant vaccination beginning at birth, and to increase vaccine coverage among previously unvaccinated children and adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI

A mathematical model to estimate global hepatitis B disease burden and vaccination impact

TL;DR: In this paper, a model was developed to calculate the age-specific risk of acquiring hepatitis B virus infection, acute hepatitis B (illness and death), and progression to chronic HBV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

A multistate, foodborne outbreak of hepatitis A. National Hepatitis A Investigation Team.

TL;DR: A large outbreak of hepatitis A in Michigan that was associated with the consumption of frozen strawberries is described and apparently sporadic cases in other states that could be linked to the same source by viral genetic analysis are found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence and Risk Factors for Acute Hepatitis B in the United States, 1982–1998: Implications for Vaccination Programs

TL;DR: Over half of all patients reported treatment for a sexually transmitted disease or incarceration in a prison or jail prior to their illness, suggesting that more than half of the acute hepatitis B cases might have been prevented through routine hepatitis B immunization in STD clinics and correctional health care programs.
