May is Hepatitis Awareness Month and May 19th marks the 8th annual Hepatitis Testing Day in the U.S.! Organizations around the U.S. are out and about spreading awareness about hepatitis B and hosting many hepatitis education and testing events. We are excited to share resources of opportunities for everyone to get involved in their community this month and throughout the year.
Check out our activity guide to find a local organization and event near you, CDC’s new Hepatitis Awareness Month and Testing Day homepage, and a short CDC video presentation that highlights the resources available for Hepatitis Awareness Month.
Finally, join Join Hepatitis B Foundation, NASTAD and CDC’s Division of Viral Hepatitis for a Twitter HepChat at 2 p.m. (ET) Thursday, June 13th. The chat will highlight Hepatitis Awareness Month outreach events and allow partner organizations to share their successes, challenges and lessons learned from their efforts. Keep us posted with your events throughout the month with the hashtag #Hepaware19 and remember to join the Twitter Chat conversation with the hashtag #HepChat19.
