During 2022, the rates of reported acute hepatitis B ranged from a high of 3.0 cases per 100,000 population in West Virginia to a low of 0.1 in Missouri, Idaho, North Dakota, Alaska, and Rhode Island (not included in Figure 2.2). The largest absolute decrease in rates during 2021–2022 was observed in Tennessee (decrease of 0.4 cases per 100,000 population), whereas the largest absolute increase was observed in Florida (increase of 0.5 cases per 100,000 population). With the varying availability of resources to conduct viral hepatitis surveillance and the relatively small number of acute hepatitis B cases reported in certain jurisdictions, wide fluctuations in annual rates might occur.
