Limited competition for this RFA is justified based on the following: This FOA is limited to State or local health department jurisdictions with established Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Programs (PHBPP). The PHBPP have the necessary infrastructure in place to perform the activities required, and have the experience needed to successfully complete the required objectives. PHBPP have the primary responsibility for carrying out the public health assurance functions required to achieve the desired outcomes and progress toward elimination of mother-to-children hepatitis B transmission which is a national goal of HHS, CDC, ACIP, and Healthy People 2020. PHBPP have been funded by CDC since 1990 through immunization Program grants to 64 jurisdictions in the United States, cities, territories, and freely associated island nations Key program requirements of the PHBPP programs are to identify all hepatitis B infected pregnant women and case-manage their infants for timely receipt and completion of post-exposure interventions to prevent mother-to-child hepatitis B transmission. Despite active efforts, in 2008 (last data available) PHBPPs identified approximately 50% of the expected number of births to hepatitis B infected pregnant women. Although hepatitis B birth dose provides a safety net for infants who are not identified for coverage in the United States, coverage was only 64% in 2010. Core PHBPP will continue to be supported by CDC from 2013-2017 through an immunization funding opportunity announcement # CDC-RFA-IP13-1301, "Immunization and Vaccines for Children Program".
