Viral hepatitis is a term commonly used for several clinically similar yet etiologically and epidemiologically distinct diseases. Hepatitis A (formerly called infectious hepatitis) and hepatitis B (formerly called serum hepatitis) have been recognized as separate entities since the early 1940s and can be diagnosed with specific serologic tests. Delta hepatitis is an infection dependent on the hepatitis B virus (HBV).

The purpose of this letter is to announce the completion of our transition to VOMS (Vaccine Ordering Management System). We wish to thank all Vaccines for Children (VFC) providers for their patience, cooperation, and dedication during the transition. Virtually 100% of all VFC providers have now successfully transmitted their vaccine orders through VOMS.
