This resolution expresses support for designating April 30, 2025, as "National Adult Hepatitis B Vaccination Awareness Day" . It highlights that millions of Americans are chronically infected with hepatitis B, often unknowingly, despite the availability of a highly effective vaccine. The resolution notes that only 30 percent of adults are vaccinated, contributing to rising infection rates and significant health disparities. The House of Representatives supports encouraging all adults aged 18 and older to be tested for hepatitis B at least once and for susceptible individuals to be vaccinated. It also emphasizes linking diagnosed individuals to appropriate care. These measures are vital to combat chronic hepatitis B, a major cause of liver cancer and liver failure. Ultimately, the resolution calls for a commitment to increasing adult hepatitis B vaccination rates and maintaining childhood vaccination rates. It also promotes enhanced provider and community awareness of adult hepatitis B vaccination to reduce new infections and related deaths.
