Epidemiology and Burden of Hepatitis B in the United States!
Up to 2.4 million people are chronically infected
Rates of acute hepatitis B infection have risen 50%-450% in states impacted by the opioid crisis
For many countries, chronic hepatitis B rates are higher in men than women and have declined over
the past 3 decades, but no consistent pattern is seen between rates for US immigrants and residents
More than 50% of people living with chronic hepatitis B are of Asian, Pacific Islander, or African descent;
hepatitis B and the resulting liver cancer are among the largest health disparities for these groups
The weighted average chronic hepatitis B prevalence for all foreign-born people in the United States
in 2018 was about 3%
= About 59% of those US residents with chronic hepatitis B in the United States in 2018 emigrated
from Asia, 19% from the Americas, and 15% from Africa
Only 25% of infected individuals are diagnosed
Thousands of people die each year from hepatitis B
+ Most common route of transmission is from mother to neonate (vertical transmission) or
from mother to child or child to child (horizontal transmission)
+ HBV is transmitted through percutaneous or mucosal contact with blood or body fluids
Others routes include
+ Sex with a partner who has HBV infection
+ Injection drug use that involves sharing needles, syringes, or drug preparation equipment
+ Accidental exposures to needle sticks or sharp instruments
+ Contact with blood from, or open sores on, a person who has HBV infection
+ Administration of contaminated blood products, especially in resource-restricted countries

Decrease in acute hepatitis B in 2021
— 5% decrease in number of cases reported from 2020
- Declines in 2020 and 2021 following 10-years of stable rates ~1.0 per 100,000
- Combination of prevention efforts and COVID-19 pandemic impact
Overall acute hepatitis B rate of 0.7 per 100,000 persons, highest rates among persons
— 40-49 years of age
— States located in Eastern and Southern regions
Risk data missing in 45% of reported acute hepatitis B cases
— Increase from 37% in 2019
- When data present, injection drug use most common risk reported
Rate of newly reported chronic hepatitis B among Asian/Pacific Islander persons 14 times the rate
among White people who are not Hispanic
Rate of hepatitis B deaths among Asian/Pacific Islander persons 10 times the rate among White
people who are not Hispanic

PreHevbrio may be used as a HepB vaccine
Recommendation in persons aged 218 years recommended
for vaccination against HBV infection.
Persons on hemodialysis, pregnant persons,
and persons who are breastfeeding are not discussed
in this Evidence to Recommendations Framework.
The safety and effectiveness of PreHevbrio have not been established in adults
on hemodialysis. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of
PreHevbrio in pregnant women. Available human data on PreHevbrio
administered to pregnant women are insufficient to inform vaccine-associated
tisks in pregnancy. Data are not available to assess the effects of PreHevbrio
on the breastfed infant or on milk production/excretion.

Viral Hepatitis: National Strategic Plan!
A Roadmap to Elimination for the United States, 2021-2025
The Need to Address Social Determinants of Health and Priority Populations
Many populations
disproportionately impacted by
viral hepatitis have faced
disparities in health status related
to the social determinants of
health, such as low-paying or
inconsistent employment, unstable
housing or homelessness, race,
ethnicity, and geographic location,
or other characteristics linked to
discrimination, stigma, or exclusion

Negative interactions with the
healthcare or social services
system may decrease the
likelihood of care-seeking
behavior, making viral hepatitis

HBV Vaccine Prevalence Among Other At-Risk Groups:
MSM!
« Among MSM traveling internationally, self-reported HBV
vaccination prevalence was 77% overall (highest for men ages
18-40 years) and less prevalent among men older than 50 years
and those with HIV infection (one-third of HIV+ men reported not
being vaccinated)
— HBV infection prevalence was 25% overall and associated
with Black men, older age, and HIV infection
1. Kolobova et al. Hum Vacein Immunother, 2022:18:2056422.
PeerView.com/SHN827
Access to healthcare and educational attainment level were
identified as key barriers to vaccination among LatinX
and Asian migrants and immigrants
Fewer foreign-born women were insured than US-born women
(68.2% vs 86.4%) and fewer foreign-born women had visited a
healthcare provider in the past year (74.4% vs 85.3%)
Limited English fluency and not knowing where to go for
vaccination were identified as barriers

Reasons for Vaccine Hesitancy!
Concerns about vaccine safety, adverse effects, toxicity, or poor quality of vaccine components
Previous experiences with vaccines and interactions with healthcare providers
Mistrust of doctors, health authorities, government sources, pharmaceutical companies and scientific
research, and doubts about the technology used to produce the vaccine
Perceptions of low risk of contracting illness, low illness severity, and low vaccine efficacy
Lack of information, information sources, and influence of antivaccine proponents
Religious beliefs,
Desire for a “natural” and “organic” lifestyle
How a person’s peer group perceives vaccines
Belief in a person's right to make their own healthcare decisions
Fear of needles
Inconvenience
Vaccine cost

Listen to the patient and acknowledge their
concems without judgment
Engage the patient in a dialogue; frame the
conversation beyond a binary yes/no
vaccination decision
Tailor your response to the patient's
concems
Keep messages clear and easy
to understand
Avoid jargon
Avoid using statements such as “no risk,” as
people mistrust strong statements and may
conversely believe the opposite
Help patients to weigh up the risks versus
benefits
Remind patients of the benefits
of vaccinations, the mildness of vaccine
adverse effects, and the very low risk
of serious adverse effects
Highlight the risks of not immunizing
Do
Correct misinformation, accept questions,
and explain
Provide personal examples
(e, pharmacist's own vaccination,
fact sheets, and other resources)
‘Communicate the high level
of endorsement of vaccines by various
‘communities
Refer patient to other providers or schedule
another appointment to discuss remaining,
vaccination concerns
Guide patient along the vaccine hesitancy
continuum toward acceptance, and
recognize the value of the conversation,
even if patient does not get vaccinated
at that appointment
D
Question an individual's sacred values:
or group identity
Griicize a particular group, such as
vaccine-hesitant parents
Get into an argumentidebate back and forth
or repeat vaccine myths (as the person will
‘not remember a detailed explanation of why
the vaccine myth is incorrect but will
remember the simple narrative of the myth)
Use fear, as this can backfire
‘Overload the patient with information,

The Role of the Pharmacist in Increasing Vaccine Uptake’
Pharmacists have the potential to substantially increase the nation’s capacity to provide the HBV vaccine
| to high-risk populations
Rise of acute HBV infections is associated with the opioid crisis and ~10% of these acute infections will
result in chronic HBV infections
— Pharmacists have already been called upon to play a greater role in addressing the needs of patients
with opioid use disorder
Pharmacists can identify methods for improving HBV vaccine services in the community pharmacy
setting (eg, providing reminders)
A study to determine the impact of community pharmacist-Ied motivational interviewing (MI) on HBV
vaccination initiation among previously unvaccinated adults with diabetes found
— A statistically significant 3.711% increase in HBV vaccination when comparing eligible individuals who
received MI to eligible individuals in the control group
— Among patients in the MI group who initiated HBV vaccination, 61.5% completed the vaccination series
1. tps vi de gorpodfissues/2020720_ 0062 him. PeerView.com
+ There have been ongoing outbreaks of HAV in the United States since 2016
— There has been difficulty reaching and vaccinating groups that are more
likely to be infected with HAV (eg, those who use drugs, homeless)
+ Rates of acute HBV have risen in states affected by the opioid crisis, and up to
2.4 million people are chronically infected
+ CDC’s Viral Hepatitis 2025 Strategic Plan aims to reduce new HAV infections
by 240% and new HBV infections by 220%
A universal HBV vaccination recommendation could help reduce disparities
in vaccination rates
An interprofessional approach can also help address disparities and improve
vaccination rates
