Subject: [migrant_health_research] Hepatitis A Question

 

Hello Again Everyone,

I recently received the following question from a doctor and I was
hoping that some of you could assist me in answering it thanks.

"I have many years of experience as a public health medical epidemiologist, and recently have begun working with a consultant
laboratory providing services nationally and in Mexico and central America as well. Some clients have shown some interest in having hepatitis A vaccination programs for agricultural workers. Do you know of any agencies, companies, or other organizations that have set up or maintained such programs? Can you provide me with contact references to
them? Thanks for your assistance."
