Welcome to San Mateo Hep B Free

San Mateo Hep B Free — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 16:13:48 +0000

The overall goal is to provide universal hepatitis B screening and vaccination for Asian, Pacific Islander and other high risk residents of San Mateo County, who bear a disproportionate burden of liver disease and liver cancer as a result of undetected chronic hepatitis B infection.

This campaign is a grass roots movement made up of a coalition of health care providers, community organizations, elected officials, local government, students, and concerned citizens. The original Hep B Free campaign was launched in San Francisco in 2007 and has now been replicated around the country as a model in hepatitis B prevention.
