Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Immunology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Hepatitis A and B are preventable infectious diseases through vaccination.
  • Despite vaccine availability, there's a lack of awareness regarding the epidemiological status of these diseases.
  • Underestimation of infection risk and insufficient knowledge on vaccination protocols contribute to low uptake.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the importance of vaccination for Hepatitis A and B.
  • To address the knowledge gaps concerning the epidemiological situation and vaccination management.
  • To emphasize the role of family physicians in implementing vaccination strategies.

Summary:

  • Vaccination against Hepatitis A and B provides long-lasting immunisation suitable for all ages.
  • Combined vaccination for both Hepatitis A and B is effective and improves patient compliance.
  • Family physicians play a crucial role in managing and promoting adequate vaccination coverage.

Impact:

  • Increased vaccination rates can significantly reduce the incidence of Hepatitis A and B.
  • Improved physician and patient education can overcome barriers to vaccination.
  • Effective vaccination strategies, led by family physicians, are essential for controlling these viral infections.
