HOW DO WE FIGHT TO MAKE ELININATING HEPATITIS A REALITY?

WE CAN’T WAIT…

• To get vaccinated! There is a safe & effective vaccine for Hepatitis B recommended for adults 19 -59 & older.
• To get our children fully vaccinated! See to it that your children are fully hepatitis B vaccinated starting at birth.
• To get screened for Hepatitis! Many people with hepatitis do not have symptoms & don’t know they are infected.
• To avoid passing the virus to others by practicing safe sex, not sharing needles, works, razors or toothbrushes.
• To talk it up! Spread the word, share this alert, talk with your healthcare provider because We can’t wait to protect ourselves & our loved ones!
