  • Acute case-fatality rate 0.5-1
  • Chronic infection lt5 yrs, 30-90 ³5
    yrs, 2-10
  • Premature mortality fromchronic liver

Global Patterns of Chronic HBV Infection
  • High (³8) 45 of global population
  • lifetime risk of infection gt60
  • early childhood infections common
  • Intermediate (2-7) 43 of global population
  • lifetime risk of infection 20-60
  • infections occur in all age groups
  • Low (lt2) 12 of global population
  • lifetime risk of infection lt20
  • most infections occur in adult risk groups

Elimination of Hepatitis B Virus Transmission
United States
Objectives
  • Prevent chronic HBV Infection
  • Prevent chronic liver disease
  • Prevent primary hepatocellular carcinoma
  • Prevent acute symptomatic HBV infection

26

Elimination of Hepatitis B Virus Transmission
United States
Strategy
  • Prevent perinatal HBV transmission
  • Routine vaccination of all infants
  • Vaccination of children in high-risk groups
  • Vaccination of adolescents
  • all unvaccinated children at 11-12 years of age
  • high-risk adolescents at all ages
  • Vaccination of adults in high-risk groups
