Regional Distribution and Key Findings

The 2022 data reveals significant regional variations in Hepatitis B prevalence. The Western Pacific and African regions bear the highest burden, with countries like Nigeria reporting over 14 million cases, followed by Indonesia with more than 17 million cases. These numbers highlight the urgent need for expanded vaccination programs and improved healthcare access in endemic regions.

In contrast, many European and North American countries show lower prevalence rates, largely due to successful universal vaccination programs implemented over the past decades. Countries like Denmark, Iceland, and several Caribbean nations report fewer than 2,000 cases, demonstrating the effectiveness of preventive measures.

Prevention and Control

The Hepatitis B vaccine, available since 1982, is 95% effective in preventing infection and its chronic consequences. WHO recommends that all infants receive the vaccine as soon as possible after birth, preferably within 24 hours. Despite this, vaccination coverage remains uneven globally, contributing to persistent transmission in many regions.

Using This Data

Our interactive visualization tool allows you to explore Hepatitis B statistics by country, compare regional trends, and analyze the global burden of this disease. This data is essential for researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the scope of Hepatitis B worldwide.

The statistics presented here are based on WHO estimates for 2022 and represent the number of people living with chronic Hepatitis B infection. Regular monitoring of these trends is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of prevention and treatment programs globally.
