Urgent Petition: Universal Adult Hepatitis B Vaccination

TW liver cancer awareness month 2

Sign the petition: Tell the ACIP to vote YES for universal adult hepatitis B vaccination

In the future, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will decide if all adults in the U.S. should be vaccinated against hepatitis B. In the U.S., just 30% of all adults have received all doses of the hepatitis B vaccine – one of the most effective ways to prevent primary liver cancer.

With up to 2.4 million Americans living with chronic hepatitis B and a rising number of acute hepatitis B cases, a failure by the Committee to recommend universal adult hepatitis B vaccination would be a missed opportunity to stem the tide of spikes in hepatitis B infections across the country and will be harmful to the elimination of viral hepatitis inequities in the U.S.

A universal adult hepatitis B recommendation is critical in addressing the consistently low adult hepatitis B vaccination rates and eliminating viral hepatitis in the United States. Please sign on to the petition
