Develop a Policy
If your faculty does not have a formal policy on Hepatitis B
immunization, develop one, have it approved, anddisseminate it.
The following steps will help you create an effective policy:
Indicate who should be immunized, why, and when.
Include a detailed goal, such as reaching the Safe Students 2015 goalof 90 percent immunization.
Make the policy available to all
The policy can also be used as a teaching moment to educate
leadership and staff on the importance of this issue

What are the main things you want to achieve with the campaign?
Objectives should be SMART
Specific : clearly stated and understood
Measurable : Results are defined (quality and quantity)
Achievable : Within the competencies and capabilities of the team
Realistic : Within the realistic control and scope of each team member
Timed : Definite time goal
Examples
To increase awareness about the risk of acquiring Hepatitis B among medical students byconducting at least 2 disease awareness activities this year.
To vaccinate at least 100 medical students in year 3 against hepatitis B by the end of thisyear.
To achieve at least 90% vaccination rates among medical students entering co-as by theyear 2013 by conducting disease awareness campaigns and vaccination clinics throughout
the year.

Who are you trying to win over, reach or involve in each
part of the campaign?
The campaign should reach every student in your facultyin some way, but you should also target specific people tomake sure different parts of the campaign are effective.
Here are some examples:
Medical students who are entering co-as
Unvaccinated Medical students in their first year as co-as

A very important part of your strategy is the broad message you want tocommunicate and the slogan that sums it up
Slogans will give your campaign an identity.
"Key messages orMessage themes" are the ideas we try to get across in
everything we say and do.
A campaign will have much more impact if the message is clear and ifeveryone involved keeps saying the same things.
Here are some examples:
Slogan
Think B!Awareness campaign by the American Liver Foundation
B Here!Campaign for the Asian American Community
Protect your patients, protect yourself
Message
Doctors-in-training are more at risk to acquire Hepatitis B, get vaccinated before
you start handling patients
