What are the global implications of the Hepatitis B vaccine?
The introduction of the hepatitis B vaccine has had a profound impact on global health. It has led to a significant reduction in HBV infections and has consequently lowered the incidence of liver cancer worldwide. Countries with high vaccination coverage have seen remarkable declines in new HBV infections and liver cancer cases. Continued efforts to improve vaccine coverage, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, are crucial in the fight against liver cancer.
