Progress Toward Hepatitis B Control - World Health Organization European Region, 2016 - 2019
Organization: United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC)Published: 2021
"In 2019, 14 million persons in the World Health Organization European Region (EUR) were chronically infected with hepatitis B virus.
During 2016–2019, EUR made substantial progress towards hepatitis B control. Of 53 countries in EUR, 35, 19, and 17 countries met coverage targets for 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine, the birth dose, and for hepatitis B screening of pregnant women, respectively. Two countries (Italy and the Netherlands) have achieved hepatitis B control.
Improving hepatitis B vaccination coverage, screening of pregnant women, and conducting hepatitis B seroprevalence assessments can help EUR to accelerate progress and document achievement of hepatitis B control targets." - United States Centers for Disease Control
