Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a health problem that affects numerous infants and children in the United States. Approximately 4000 to 6000 new infections occur each year in children and adolescents; most often they become infected without obvious clinical manifestations. Some persons become chronically infected, and this asymptomatic chronically infected population serves as a reservoir for HBV. Immunization of all newborn infants and adolescents for HBV is a vital step toward eradicating HBV from the general population. Pediatric nurse practitioners are in a strategic position to provide education and the carry out immunization efforts that will dramatically decrease the morbidity associated with HBV.
