The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and its Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy (OIDP), has been coordinating development of the next iteration of a strategic plan to eliminate the nation’s viral hepatitis epidemic. The Viral Hepatitis National Strategic Plan: A Roadmap to Elimination (2021-2025) (Hepatitis Plan) has been developed through coordination with federal partners throughout HHS and other departments and with public comment input collected through 18 listening sessions throughout the country and a Request for Information in the Federal Register in the beginning stages of developing the plan.

OIDP has published a Request for Information (RFI) in the Federal Register to solicit input on the draft Hepatitis Plan. HHS seeks input from a broad mix of stakeholders on whether the plan’s goals, objectives, and strategies appropriately address the viral hepatitis epidemic and whether there are any critical gaps.

The draft Hepatitis Plan and a link to the Federal Register notice for public inspection are posted on www.hhs.gov/hepatitis. All comments must be submitted electronically to HepatitisPlanComments@hhs.gov no later than the deadline specified in the Federal Register notice, to be considered.
