Many of our members will be attending the annual meeting of the American College of Rheumatology in San Diego, scheduled for November 3-8, 2017.
On September 1, 2017, the San Diego public health officer declared a local public health emergency due to the ongoing Hepatitis A outbreak in the county. Vaccination efforts are underway targeting at-risk groups.
Members may wish to consult the local public health agency’s website on this outbreak for further information and guidance.
