The Adult Hepatitis Vaccine Project–California, 2007-2008

This report summarizes results of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Adult Hepatitis Vaccine Project (AHVP) for 2007-2008, in response to the CDC national initiative encouraging states to use existing federal funds to purchase adult hepatitis B vaccine. Data show that 28,824 doses of Hepatitis B vaccine were administered at 29 participating sites in the first 19 months of the AHVP, and 13 sites administered the vaccine for the first time. Data were collected on the number of vaccine doses administered during both phases of the project; demographic information (age, sex, race, and ethnicity) for each person who received vaccine, as well as which dose was administered.
