There has been a recent recommendation that all contacts of new internationally adopted kids should have Hepatitis A vaccination because of recent cases of families being exposed after arrival. Previously, it was just recommended for people traveling to developing countries, now it should be given to everyone who will take care of the child - siblings, grandparents, etc. This would be good information to include in your newsletter.
