  1. Today is #WorldHepatitisDay!

    #Hepatitis B and C claimed the lives of 1.13 to 1.3 million people in 2023/2024, mainly due to associated #liverCancer and #cirrhosis (#GBDstudy, #WHO). The #trend is still increasing.

    The prevalence of #HepatitisB infection among #children under five decreased from 0.8% in 2015 to 0.6% in 2024 – far off track to meet the WHO #target of 0.1% by 2030.

  4. Anyone have unpleasantly strong side effects from their 3rd Hepatitis B shot (such as kind many people had for the last Shingles vax)? Planning ahead of mine next month.

  7. From the Infectious Diseases Society of America, via LinkedIn.

    “How can ACIP justify removing a well established, successful and safe protection strategy that protects the most vulnerable infants when the proper measures to identify the infants most at risk are not in place?”

    IDSA liaison to ACIP, Flor Munoz, MD, FIDSA, questions the committee’s proposed decision to change the schedule for newborn hepatitis b vaccinations.

    Dr. Roselie Bright also commented in depth in a written document:

  10. Yes, if you follow me, you're getting tired of this. But for the Sunday audience, here's another good summary of the problems with this week's #ACIP decision to stop recommending a hepatitis B (#HepB) #vaccine for all children at birth.

  13. #RFKJr advisers weigh dropping #hepatitisB #vaccine recommendation for most #US #children.

    #ACIP has proposed only infants born to mothers who test positive for #hepB would be recommended to get the vaccine. For all other newborns, the decision when or if to vaccinate should be left to parents, in consultation with their #healthcare provider, it said.

  16. #ACIP managed to postpone voting until tomorrow (Friday) morning, because they can’t figure out what they are voting on. Seriously. These are the people advising the population of the #UnitedStates on #vaccinations.

    From their “discussion”, they’re probably going to not recommend vaccinating infants for #HepB. Idiots.

  19. The agenda for next month's #ACIP meeting has been posted at cdc.gov/acip/downloads/agendas and it looks ominous. Day 1, December 4, dedicated to child/teen #vaccine schedule and adjuvants? Day 2 on the #HepB vaccine?

    I'm expecting them to try to change a lot of things that plenty of data showing that they work well as-is. Also noticing there are no times given for particular discussions, lunch breaks, etc. This suggests they haven't planned thoughtful presentations of well-researched findings .

  22. @BrianJopek #HepB is a terrible disease
    May be self limited or cause cirrhosis (liver failure) or liver cancer.
    Transmissible by sex, or by shared needles.
    Transmissible to and from health care workers to and from patients.
    Vaccination extremely effective and safe. Only a fool would discourage Hep B vaccination.

  25. @kityates Tragic. If they aren't vaccinating for measles, one wonders what else is being left out? Hep B,, diptheria, tetanus, polio. HPV too. Giant stop back for public health.

  28. If you are living with (or work with) people living with #HIV or #hepB in Australia, please take a look at this important first-ever survey of the legal needs of people in these communities. It only takes 15-20 minutes to complete and will provide invaluable data to help advocate for better services. healthpluslaw.org/legal-needs-
