Qinghai (青海) Hepatitis B Vaccination and Education Project Milestones

6/3/2008

2 Comments

 
We oversaw first and second rounds of HBV vaccinations in both urban and rural schools. We observed best practices of vaccination administration in all cases. The education program uses a top-down strategy to relay the necessary HBV information to the students. First, teaching seminars are held by local CDC officials for the school principals and health teachers. Second, health teachers use this information to teach the students. At the completion of this program, HBV will be integrated into Qinghai’s health education curriculum. We developed a handout for CDC officials and school principals and health teachers that explains the extent of the HBV problem in China and Qinghai Province; the goals of this program; basic information about HBV; and suggested tools for teaching children about HBV. We oversaw the production of educational posters for schools and calendars for the students to take home. We created a survey appropriate for elementary school-aged children. Four questions test the students’ knowledge of basic HBV information:

A. Where in the body does HBV attack? (Answer: Liver.)
B. How is HBV not transmitted? (Answer: Through food.)
C. How can you protect yourself from Hepatitis B for life? (Answer: Through vaccination.)
D. How many shots are there in the Hepatitis B vaccination? (Answer: 3.)
