Core Tip	Most infants born to hepatitis B surface antigen positive woman in California received appropriate post exposure prophylaxis and vaccination but a low postvaccination serologic testing rate represents a missed opportunity to identify chronically infected infants needing lifelong medical care. Overall the perinatal transmission rate in California is low at 1.1% and only high maternal hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA level predicts risk for perinatal transmission. Maternal HBV DNA is a vital prenatal screen if targeted antiviral therapy for high-risk mothers becomes a strategy to reduce transmission.
