While the

is over now, we need to talk about the vaccination facts all year long.
Why? Because times change, the importance of routine vaccination doesn't.

R to @ECDC_EU: An urgent scaling-up of testing is needed to identify people with #hepatitisB and #hepatitisC early in the stages of infection, and to link them to care to reduce complications such as #cirrhosis and #liver cancer.
[2024-04-25 17:54 UTC]
R to @ECDC_EU: There are 3.6M people chronically infected with #HBV & 1.8M with #HCV in EU/EEA.
