Shortage of Hepatitis B vaccine placing dialysis patients at risk

Scarcity due to supply chain disruptions, manufacturing challenges & increased demand

- UNNIKRISHNAN S @T'Puram

An acute shortage of the hepatitis B vaccine is endangering the lives of thousands of high-risk kidney patients. Following delays in vaccination, dialysis units -- already vulnerable environments due to frequent blood exposure -- have become increasingly susceptible to hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission.

"This is not just a medical issue. It's a public health crisis in the making," warns T T Basheer, chairman of the Pratheeksha Organ Recipients Family Association (PORFA) charitable trust. "The cost of dialysis sessions is rising because hospitals are forced to implement additional precautions to prevent blood-borne infections, including HBV."
