Correctional facilities play a critical role in hepatitis B prevention and management. This plenary session provides correctional health professionals with practical, evidence-based strategies to strengthen screening, vaccination, and continuity of care in jails and prisons. Using a systems-based, interdisciplinary approach, participants will explore streamlined screening workflows, effective adult catch-up vaccination models, and monitoring considerations for individuals with chronic HBV infection. The session also addresses one of the field’s most persistent challenges—ensuring seamless care during facility transfers and community reentry—highlighting coordination strategies that improve patient outcomes and protect public health. Focused on operational implementation rather than medication-specific instruction, this session offers actionable strategies that can be applied immediately in correctional settings.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify strategies to improve continuity of hepatitis B care during incarceration and reentry, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary coordination and linkage to community care
• Apply practical workflows for hepatitis B screening, adult catch-up vaccination, and interpretation of serologic results within the correctional setting
• Describe current evidence-based recommendations for hepatitis B screening and vaccination in correctional settings
