A resolution expressing support for the designation of April 30, 2023, as "National Adult Hepatitis B Vaccination Awareness Day".

SRES 180 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating April 30, 2023, as "National Adult Hepatitis B Vaccination Awareness Day." It expresses the Senate's support for raising public awareness about hepatitis B vaccination among adults, highlighting that only 30% of U.S. adults are vaccinated despite the vaccine being 95% effective. The resolution encourages testing, vaccination, and linkage to care for those affected, but does not create new laws or funding requirements. It serves as a non-binding recognition of the importance of adult hepatitis B prevention.
