San Francisco Hep B Free Campaign
 


San Francisco Hep B Free is a citywide campaign that seeks to turn San Francisco into the first hepatitis B free city in the nation. This campaign provides free and low-cost hepatitis B testing and vaccinations to Asian and Pacific Islander (API) adults at locations throughout San Francisco. The three objectives of the SF Hep B Free campaign are: (1) to create public and healthcare provider awareness about the importance of testing & vaccinating APIs for hepatitis B, (2) to promote routine hepatitis B testing and vaccination within the primary care medical community, (3) to ensure access to treatment for chronically infected individuals.
