Program Area 7 Eligible Applicants:  CDC Immunization Program grantees eligible for assistance in this program area include those with an acute viral hepatitis B infection incidence rate of greater than or equal to 1.2 per 100,000 total population as measured by the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS) in 2010 (see table at end of this announcement).      Program Area 8 Eligible Applicants:  Must be one of the 64 Immunization Program grantees currently funded under CDC RFA-IP08-803 to ensure availability of the necessary infrastructure to perform the activities required and the experience needed to successfully complete the required functions.    Program Area 9 Eligible Applicants:  Must be one of the eight Immunization Information System Sentinel Site grantees currently funded under CDC RFA-IP08-803 to ensure the necessary Immunization Information System maturity and dedicated staff with demonstrated experience conducting vaccine use evaluations and publications.
Description: The purpose of this program area is to reduce the incidence of acute hepatitis B infection among adults through targeted hepatitis B vaccination of adults who present for medical care in high risk settings or who have behaviors that increase their risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. 317 immunization program grantees whose jurisdiction has an incidence of acute hepatitis B that is greater than or equal to 1.2 cases per 100,000 total population based on data from the 2010 National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS) are eligible to apply for funds to support an adult hepatitis B vaccination pilot program. See table at end of this announcement. This project does not include targeting hepatitis B vaccination of healthcare personnel, persons with end-stage renal disease, or international travelers to regions with high or intermediate levels of endemic HBV infection. Vaccination strategies must be consistent with 2006 ACIP hepatitis B vaccination recommendations (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5516a1.htm?s_cid=rr5516a1_e).
