Extract
Viral hepatitis B is one of the major concerns of today's healthcare workers. Of the 100,000 Americans infected each year, 5% to 10% of them are employed in healthcare professions. For every 500 identified high-risk personnel, as many as 50 could become infected with hepatitis B virus. Every hospital should have procedures in writing for pre- and post-exposure prevention of hepatitis B.
