This follows an increase in the number of people infected by the virus, which can cause severe liver disease. In Glasgow, cases of hepatitis B infection have risen from 55 in 1995, to 133 in 1999, reflecting a similar increase all across the United Kingdom. In the ish city, the parents of 12,000 first year secondary school pupils have been offered the vaccination by the Greater Glasgow Health Board (GGHB), and depending on the up-take for the program, health officials will consider launching immunization campaigns on a regular basis.
