Pennsylvania Department of Health - Perinatal Hepatitis B Program

The perinatal transmission of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) poses a serious threat to infants born to mothers infected with the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). District Offices/State Health Centers must:
  • Ensure completion of the hepatitis B vaccine series and post-vaccination testing for high-risk infants
  • Ensure that all susceptible contacts of HBV infected pregnant women are identified and offered vaccination
  • Educate and counsel patients on health behaviors
  • Accept reports of HBsAg positive women from private health care providers
  • Report information to the PA DOH Division of Immunizations
