The Immunization Action Coalition, publisher of over 100 health educational pieces on immunization, offers a way to take a formal recommendation to vaccinate all 11‐ and 12‐year‐olds against hepatitis B by creating a friendly educational piece that can make adolescents and their parents sit up, take notice, roll up their sleeves, and run to doctors to demand their hepatitis B shots. The brochure created follows dictates of passion, words, graphics, feedback, and no copyright. The coalition's semi‐annual newslet ter, Needle Tips & the Hepatitis B Coalition News, encourages adaptation or use of the brochure, which is approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
