Epidemiology of viral hepatitis changes in our country

Abstract

The most important interventions in our country that significantly affect the epidemiology of viral hepatitis are the introduction of hepatitis B vaccine into the routine vaccination program for newborns since 1998 and the introduction of catch up vaccination strategies and screening for high-risk groups. In addition, the development of our surveillance system, the introduction of hepatitis A vaccine into the routine vaccination program, and the addition of studying nucleic acid testing to serological screening in blood donors are other important interventions
