| Core Tip |
The epidemiology of hepatitis A is undergoing a profound shift, driven by changing socioeconomic conditions, living standards worldwide and ongoing viral evolution. This has resulted in a shift in epidemiology, with decreasing exposure to the virus among children, leaving adolescent and adult populations susceptible to more clinically significant disease. This change leads to more severe disease in older populations, highlighting the need for updated vaccination guidelines targeting susceptible adults, vigilant surveillance to monitor viral evolution and antigenic variation, and strengthened public health measures including enhanced hygiene and outbreak prevention strategies. |
