Hepatitis B like Polio can be eradicated if every person is vaccinated immediately  after birth with booster doses once only, every five yrs  throughout life until even hundred yrs of age.

And cost per vaccine is hardly Rs 100-200 for adults and just half for children upto 10yrs of age.

Once infected with Hepatitis B it is difficult to cure. Mostly people carry this infection throughout life and infect their spouses and children as well .

Untreated infected persons may land into liver failure, liver cancer even, at times.

Let this message go to every person in your contact through social media.

The day we are aware of Hepatitis B Vaccines like Tetnus, and get our family, friends and workers vaccinated, the day is not far off when HEPATITIS B ie the most serious type of jaundice will be eradicated from the earth.

Millions of hard earned money spent on investigations and life long treatment to control Hepatitis B infection can be saved.
