At the scene, Liu Yan, director of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention and secretary of the Fourth Party Branch, said: “With the implementation of children’s hepatitis B vaccination and other comprehensive prevention and control policies in my country, the hepatitis B carrier rate in China has continued to decline. The hepatitis B virus infection rate has dropped to more than 1%. At present, the hepatitis B vaccination rate of newborns in Hangzhou has reached more than 95%, which has established a solid immune barrier to curb the spread of hepatitis B virus.”
Although Ding liver is not well known to the public, it is very harmful to human health.

Xu Ke, director of the AIDS and STD Prevention and Control Institute of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and deputy secretary of the second party branch, reminded that because the onset of hepatitis C is hidden and the symptoms are not obvious, it is called a hidden killer.
