Description:

Outbreaks of hepatitis A are occurring nationwide. Hospitalizations and deaths have been higher than usual, especially among older people and those with comorbid conditions. People at higher risk for infection include people who use drugs and those experiencing homelessness. These populations may be more likely to seek care in emergency departments than in primary care settings. Please screen for these risk factors and administer hepatitis A vaccine.
