Relative to Viral Hepatitis Awareness Day.
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution proclaims May 19, 2013, as Viral Hepatitis Awareness Day in California, aiming to raise public awareness about viral hepatitis, specifically hepatitis B and C, which are significant causes of liver cancer and disease in the state. The resolution highlights that many Californians with chronic hepatitis B or C infections are unaware they are infected, putting them at high risk for severe liver complications, and emphasizes that early detection and treatment can prevent serious health issues and reduce healthcare costs. It also notes the availability of a vaccine for hepatitis B and updated federal guidelines recommending a one-time hepatitis C test for individuals born between 1945 and 1965, underscoring the importance of awareness campaigns and accessible screening to mitigate the impact of these infections.
