Where can I locate CDC’s recommendations for HepB vaccination?

All current and recent past ACIP recommendations concerning hepatitis B vaccination are available at: www.cdc.gov/acip-recs/hcp/vaccine-specific/hepatitis-b.html.

The most recent recommendations for adult HepB vaccination were published in MMWR on April 1, 2022. This publication details the routine catch-up recommendation for HepB vaccination of all adults age 19 through 59 years. The document is available at www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/pdfs/mm7113a1-H.pdf.

The 2018 comprehensive ACIP HepB recommendations publication contains detailed guidance on pediatric vaccination, post-vaccination serologic testing of healthcare professionals and other select high risk individuals, as well as the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B. It is available at www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/67/rr/pdfs/rr6701-H.pdf.

In addition to the published recommendations, CDC has produced a frequently asked questions page for HBV infection and HepB vaccination: www.cdc.gov/hepatitis-b/hcp/clinical-overview.
