When discussing vaccine-preventable hepatitis A infections, many people think about contaminated food and water. However, in 2022, hepatitis A remains a common person-to-person spread virus.
And the risk for hepatitis A virus (HAV) transmission has continued during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since hepatitis A outbreaks were first identified in 2016, thirty-seven U.S. states have publicly reported 43,705 cases and 420 related fatalities to the U.S. CDC as of February 11, 2022.
Furthermore, 22 states are reporting additional hepatitis A cases in 2022.
