From January 1, 2018 through December 7, 2019, 3,769 hepatitis A cases were reported.
The number of reported hepatitis A cases more than doubled from 2016 to 2017 and nearly doubled again in 2018 after remaining relatively stable in previous years. Case counts in 2019 have already surpassed those in 2018.

Counties that reported a hepatitis A case last week are outlined in black. Since January 1, 2018, 98% of cases have likely been acquired locally in Florida.

There were 33 hepatitis A cases reported last week. Case counts in weeks prior to the public health emergency declaration are shown in light red while case counts in weeks since are shown in red.

From December 1, 2019 to December 7, 2019, county health departments (CHDs) administered 1,461 (40%) of the total 3,695 first doses of hepatitis A vaccine administered to adults age 18 years and older, as recorded in Florida SHOTS. In 2019 CHDs have administered 123,276 vaccinations and non-CHDs have administered 169,567 vaccinations for a total of 292,843 vaccinations.
