Hepatitis B Birth Dose Media Toolkit

The hepatitis B vaccine has been a global game-changer, saving millions of lives over the past four decades. Safe, effective and groundbreaking as the world’s first anti-cancer vaccine, it protects against hepatitis B, the leading cause of liver cancer.

Vaccines, including the hepatitis B vaccine, are held to the highest safety standards and remain one of the most effective tools in protecting public health. As we move forward, the Hepatitis B Foundation is committed to providing reliable, evidence-based information and advocating for universal access to this lifesaving vaccine.  To support these efforts, please use the following media toolkit as a reference to help spread awareness and educate your community about the importance of hepatitis B prevention. Together, we can protect future generations from this preventable virus.
