Free Hepatitis B Vaccine for HIV-Positive Adults For many years the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended hepatitis B vaccine for adults who may be exposed to hepatitis B virus through high-risk lifestyle behaviors. In Texas most HIV positive adults are also at risk of acquiring hepatitis B virus infection through similar high-risk behaviors. The Texas Department of Health (TDH) has several thousand doses of hepatitis B vaccine available free to healthcare providers in Texas who treat HIV-positive clients. This vaccine, available in single dose vials, may be administered only to HIV positive adults, expires in February 2002, and must be given to HIV positive clients at no charge. Physicians and other health care providers may order the vaccine through the TDH Bureau of HIV and STD Prevention. There is no limit to the amount of vaccine healthcare providers can order, but they should order only as much as they can use before the upcoming expiration date and store properly at their facility. Please complete the information in the box below to order hepatitis B vaccine for HIV-positive patients at no charge.
