Hepatitis A Outbreak in Kyiv: Doctor Urges Vaccination and Hygiene. Kyiv, Ukraine - A recent increase in Hepatitis A cases in Kyiv has prompted a local doctor to emphasize the importance of vaccination and hygiene practices. 'Viral Hepatitis A, or Botkin's disease, is easily transmitted through contaminated food and water,' explains Dr. Anatoliy Kornutyak, a pediatrician and therapist. 'It's crucial to wash your hands thoroughly and ensure you're drinking safe water.' Dr. Kornutyak highlights the effectiveness of vaccines like Havrix and Twinrix in preventing the disease.
