Hepatitis B Overview and Innovations in Immunization - Free Webinars

Posted over 5 years ago by Patricia Sadowski

I would like to pass along information for educational webinars that we will be hosting.  Our sessions last month were very well received, so we are extending additional options for this month.  If you or your colleagues are interested and might have some time to join one of these webinars, that would be great. 

 

As many as 2.2 million people in the US are infected with hepatitis B, and cases are on the rise1,2. While hepatitis B is a vaccine preventable disease, only 25% of adults over the age of 19 are fully vaccinated. Hepatitis B is the primary cause of liver cancer, which is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in the world 3,4- it’s time to reconsider vaccination options.

Join us for the webinar to discuss hepatitis B and innovations in vaccination options.


This educational presentation will include a live Q & A session.
