Residents of Westmoreland are being encouraged to take steps to protect themselves against Hepatitis B by getting vaccinated and practising safe sex.
Medical Officer of Health for Westmoreland, Dr Marcia Graham, made the call against the backdrop of World Hepatitis Day, which was observed on July 28.
Speaking during the recent monthly meeting of the Westmoreland Municipal Corporation, Graham said the observance provided an opportunity to raise awareness about a disease that often receives less attention than HIV despite being more infectious.
