RIVERSIDE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH: PERINATAL HEPATITIS B PREVENTION PROGRAM

   
Information provided by: Riverside County Office on Aging

A pregnant woman may unknowingly have hepatitis B virus (HBV) in their blood and pass it on to her infant at birth. State law mandates that all pregnant women be tested for hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg). Positive results must be reported to the County of Riverside Community Health Agency Department of Public Health on a Confidential Morbidity Report (CMR) by fax or mail. Reports may also be made by telephone. When Disease Control receives the CMR, a referral is made to the Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program (PHBPP) Coordinator. The coordinator then does follow-up to ensure these infants receive appropriate preventive treatment. Close household contacts are also referred for evaluation and immunization if indicated.
