HRES 362 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of April 30, 2025, as "National Adult Hepatitis B Vaccination Awareness Day".

This resolution expresses congressional support for designating April 30, 2025, as "National Adult Hepatitis B Vaccination Awareness Day." It highlights that only 30% of U.S. adults are vaccinated against hepatitis B despite the vaccine being 95% effective, and emphasizes the need to increase adult vaccination rates - particularly among high-risk groups like people who inject drugs and communities disproportionately affected by the virus. The resolution encourages adults to get tested and vaccinated, links diagnosed individuals to care, and promotes awareness to reduce hepatitis B-related liver cancer and death. It does not create new laws but aims to raise public and provider awareness about existing vaccination recommendations.
