As many of you are aware, the State of Colorado is
currently experiencing an outbreak of Hepatitis A affecting people experiencing
homelessness, people with substance issues, and people who are incarcerated in
city and county jails.
In an effort to support the public health response
to this outbreak, several organizations have come together to develop a poster
targeted at providers, and focuses on identifying, reporting and preventing
Hepatitis A. View and download the poster at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10b8OJp6P3xIM2n3QHj9ORbBdBVwpYx5O/view?usp=sharing
