He 🔦highlights the lack of awareness about #hepatitisB in Northern Nigeria and his challenging treatment journey. Nathaniel emphasizes the high cost 💸of hepatitis B treatment in Nigeria and hopes it will one day be as accessible as #HIV treatment. He now dedicates himself to raising awareness and advocating for better access to care. ✨Watch Nathaniel’s story here📲https://lnkd.in/eJ8PApJU #LiverCancerAwarenessMonth💚

NEWS 📰Vaccine Innovations Beyond the Existing mRNA-Based Vaccines for COVID-19 – [Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News] 📰According to the World Health Organization, HBV has infected about 254 million people and is killing more people every year. A large part of the danger is that “only 10-15% of all infected people are actually aware of their infection, because most of those people are living without any symptoms while the virus is still doing damage to the liver,” says Nadege Pelletier, PhD, chief scientific officer of Barinthus Biotherapeutics, which develops T-cell-based immunotherapies for chronic infections and autoimmune diseases. 📲https://ow.ly/ZvQR50TFRuR

Shane discovered he had hepatitis B in 🏫middle school and started regular check ups. However, without symptoms or issues, he never treated the virus. Due to his busy schedule, he skipped follow-ups for two years. When he finally returned, they found a liver cancer tumor.🚨 Shane urges those with hepatitis B to keep up with regular check-ups and start antiviral treatment early to lower 📉the risk of liver cancer. 🔦Watch Shane’s story here: https://lnkd.in/eey6aPAX #LiverCancerAwarenessMonth💚

🎉 Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month! 🎉 Did you know hepatitis B is common in South America? People born there are considered high risk for #hepB. It’s an infectious disease spread through blood, not genetics. While everyone is at some risk, certain groups are more vulnerable based on where they were born, their job or lifestyle. 💡Learn more about protecting yourself and your loved ones here: https://lnkd.in/eWwBWbbt #HispanicHeritageMonth💜💚🤎💙💛🖤🧡❤️
