Why is Hepatitis B Vaccination Important for Public Health?
Widespread hepatitis B vaccination is crucial for reducing the prevalence of HBV infection and its associated liver diseases. By preventing HBV infection, we can significantly decrease the incidence of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, leading to better overall liver health in the population. Vaccination programs have been successful in dramatically lowering the rates of HBV infection and subsequent liver disease worldwide.
