Did you know? Woodchucks played an important role in hepatitis research.
Because woodchuck hepatitis virus closely resembles human hepatitis B, researchers were able to study liver disease progression, improve vaccine development and advance treatments that benefit patients today.
National Hepatitis Testing Day is a reminder that research, prevention and testing save lives.

During World Immunization Week, we recognize the science behind lifesaving vaccines.
Vaccines don't happen overnight. They are developed through a combination of scientific methods including laboratory research, computer modeling and studies with animal models to better understand how the immune system responds and to help ensure safety before human trials begin.
