SLBMC Reaffirms Commitment to Hepatitis B Elimination with Strong Birth Dose Vaccination Efforts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recognition of World Hepatitis B Day (July 28), the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre (SLBMC)<\/a><\/strong> is reaffirming its commitment to the elimination of hepatitis B through its proactive birth dose vaccination program\u2014a key pillar in Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s public health efforts.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), which can lead to chronic disease, liver failure, and liver cancer. One of the most effective ways to prevent HBV transmission is by administering the Hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth\u2014a critical window for protecting newborns, especially those at risk of mother-to-child transmission.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt SLBMC, we routinely offer the hepatitis B birth dose vaccine to all newborns as part of our standard neonatal care,\u201d said Dr. Saleem Hughes, Chair of SLBMC\u2019s <\/a><\/strong>Paediatric Department. \u201cThis simple yet powerful intervention can protect children from a lifetime of chronic illness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From January to June 2025, 70% of babies born at SLBMC received the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth\u2014a strong indicator of the hospital\u2019s commitment to giving every child a healthy start in life.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SLBMC\u2019s vaccination programme aligns with World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations and supports global and regional strategies for the elimination of viral hepatitis. By integrating the hepatitis B birth dose into routine care, SLBMC is helping to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\u25aa\ufe0f\"Prevent lifelong chronic hepatitis B infections<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\u25aa\ufe0f\"Protect future generations from liver disease<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\u25aa\ufe0f\"Strengthen national and global hepatitis elimination efforts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the country\u2019s only tertiary care hospital, SLBMC encourages all parents and caregivers to speak with their healthcare providers about the importance of early vaccination and routine immunization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, we can eliminate hepatitis\u2014one birth, one vaccine, one healthy future at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
