Expressing support for the designation of April 30, 2023, as "National Adult Hepatitis B Vaccination Awareness Day".
This resolution designates April 30, 2023, as "National Adult Hepatitis B Vaccination Awareness Day" to raise public attention about hepatitis B vaccination for adults. It highlights that only 30% of U.S. adults are vaccinated despite the vaccine's 95% effectiveness and hepatitis B's serious health risks, including liver cancer. The resolution encourages testing, vaccination, and care linkage for adults but does not create new laws or funding. It serves as a symbolic congressional statement to support existing public health efforts, focusing on awareness rather than policy changes.
