Since 2007, the rates of hepatitis A decreased in all age groups and remained constant until outbreaks of hepatitis A began to be reported during 2016. The substantial increase in the rates of hepatitis A observed during 2017–2019 was apparent in almost all age groups. The exception was for persons aged less than 20 years, which is due to the introduction of hepatitis A vaccine in 1996 and universal childhood vaccination recommendation in 2006. In 2022, the rate of reported cases of hepatitis A decreased in all age groups compared to 2021. In 2022, the highest rate occurred among persons aged 30–39 years (1.5 per 100,000 population).
