Core Tip

Core Tip: The rising incidence of hepatitis A virus infections among adults in Pakistan, as highlighted by Shahid et al in 2025, underscores the urgent need for expanded vaccination programs targeting high-risk groups and improved public health strategies to mitigate the impact of this evolving epidemiological threat. Enhanced surveillance, public awareness campaigns, and targeted immunization initiatives are vital for reducing transmission and preventing outbreaks. These measures will safeguard vulnerable populations and ease the burden on the healthcare system, paving the way for a more resilient and proactive public health infrastructure.
