Cuba has developed a highly effective therapeutic hepatitis B vaccine that has

the potential to completely wipe out the disease. Indeed, Cuba is on track to

be the first country in the world to completely eliminate hepatitis B from its

territory. Currently there are only 11 active cases in the country, and by 2020

they expect there to be zero cases. Cuba is also working on a therapeutic

hepatitis C vaccine that is expected to come on line in about five years,

expected to be the first such vaccine in the world.
