🧡 May is Hepatitis Awareness Month — and there's still time to spread the word!
Viral hepatitis affects millions of Americans, but many people don't know they're infected because it often shows no symptoms. That's what makes awareness — and testing — so important.
Here are a few key facts worth sharing with your friends and family:
🔹 Hepatitis A and B are both preventable with vaccines
🔹 The CDC recommends all adults age 18 and older be screened at least once for both hepatitis A and B
🔹 Left untreated, chronic hepatitis B and C can lead to serious liver damage, liver cancer, and even death
The CDC has updated resources, testing information, and a social media toolkit available now:
