Based on surveys from 240 health workers, researchers, community organizations, people living with hepatitis, and national program leaders, the article documents early but alarming impacts: clinic closures, staff losses, reduced access to vaccines, diagnostics, and treatment, stalled research, and setbacks to prevention, including critical hepatitis B birth dose vaccination.
