In collaboration with the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable (NVHR), the Hepatitis Education Project (HEP), NASTAD, Hep B United, and Hepatitis B Foundation, HepVu deployed a survey to measure the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on viral hepatitis, and the experiences of clinical providers, community-based organizations, and health departments during COVID-19.
The findings show significant reduction in viral hepatitis testing, vaccination, linkage to care, and outreach across all settings, and offer suggestions on the top resources needed to support these vital viral hepatitis programs.
