Hennepin County Adult Detention Center (Jail) is Minnesota's largest jail. In August 2019, the Minnesota Department of Health declared a statewide hepatitis A outbreak. Within three days, Hennepin County Jail Health Services made significant changes to vaccination protocols that increased vaccination rates from 0.6% to 7.1% among detainees, who have a greater risk of contracting hepatitis A. We highlight the opportunity for jails to develop sustainable public health interventions in the setting of community outbreaks.
亨内平县成人拘留中心（监狱）是明尼苏达州最大的监狱。2019 年 8 月，明尼苏达州卫生部宣布全州爆发甲型肝炎。在三天内，亨内平县监狱卫生服务部门对疫苗接种方案进行了重大修改，将拘留者中的疫苗接种率从 0.6%提高到 7.1%，拘留者感染甲型肝炎的风险更高。我们强调了监狱在社区爆发期间制定可持续公共卫生干预措施的机会。
