Hep Free Hawaii

We are coalition of local, national, and global partners focused on eliminating hepatitis in Hawai'i.

Hep Free Hawai`i (HFH) is a grassroots campaign started by hepatitis advocates in Hawai`i to bring attention to the epidemic of chronic hepatitis B and C and liver disease in our islands. Through increasing awareness, HFH hopes to encourage everyone in Hawai`i to learn their hepatitis status, and for those living with hepatitis or other liver disease to access the care they need to live healthy lives.

⏳ Delays in the HepB birth dose cost lives ⏳

Delaying hepatitis B vaccination increases the risk of chronic infection, liver cancer, and preventable deaths—especially for babies whose mothers weren’t tested during pregnancy.

Even babies with mothers who test negative face higher risks:
➡️ 2-month delay: 62+ preventable deaths & 39 cases of liver cancer
➡️ 12-year delay: 163+ preventable deaths & 107 cases of liver cancer

For babies with unknown maternal HepB status, the numbers are staggering:
➡️ 12-year delay: 788+ preventable deaths & 503 cases of liver cancer

💉 Timely birth dose saves lives. Every year counts.

🚨 Delayed protection puts babies at risk! 🚨

Did you know? Babies exposed to hepatitis B at birth have the highest chance of lifelong infection. 😢

➡️ Up to 90% of infants infected in their first year become chronically infected
➡️ 1 in 4 of these children may later die from liver disease 💔

The HepB birth dose gives immediate protection, preventing lifelong harm from day one. 💉👶
