Where To Get Hepatitis A & B Vaccines in Philadelphia - A HepCap Resource
|
|
HepCap
,
a city-wide collective dedicated to eliminating hepatitis C in Philadelphia, has created a new resource! The tool is an interactive map that identifies pharmacies across the city that provide hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines.
By clicking a point on the map, you can easily find the name of the pharmacy, it's address, and the pharmacy's phone number. This is a great tool to help link susceptible individuals to the care they need!

Bucks County immunization Coalition's
Fall Provider Conference

Presentations will feature a speaker from the Pennsylvania Department of Health on the hepatitis A outbreaks in Pennsylvania, as well as others on HIV and travel vaccines.
These topics were chosen based on previous suggestions, so we’re hoping for a great turnout!

During 2019, we are highlighting a unique patient story each month. Our
#justB
Storytelling Campaign is a national effort to bring individuals affected by hepatitis B to share their stories to shed light on this serious disease, decrease stigma, discrimination, and promote the importance of testing and treatment for hepatitis B. If you want to host a screening of the videos, we can help! It is a great way to spread the word and engage your local communities! Email
