New IAC offers sample text for admission orders for hepatitis B vaccination in newborn nursery

A News & Events entry posted on December 21, 2010

IAC recently created a new piece for healthcare settings, "Sample Text for Admission Orders for Hepatitis B Vaccine Birth Dose in Newborn Nursery." It is intended to help birthing hospitals create and implement policies and procedures that will protect newborns by giving them the recommended birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine (and hepatitis B immune globulin, if needed) before hospital discharge. Birthing hospitals that have not already implemented their own policies and procedures are encouraged to adapt the sample text for use in their newborn nurseries.
