Hep B and immunity

My daughter (aged 19) has chronic Hep. B she is currently well at University in the UK - does she fit into the category of those with reduced immunity who may be at greater risk in the current Covid-19 pandemic . Is the degree of immunity judged by her current viral load i.e. the higher it is the more or less immune she may be.... or do we just not know?

Hi,

Please see the link below from the governement regarding social distancing.

You will see chronic liver disease ( Chronic Hep B would be in this category) is on the list of those who are at an increased risk of severe illness from coronavirus (COVID-19) and are to be particularly stringent in following social distancing measures

For all specific guidance and medical recommendations, we would advise your daughter speak with her hepatologist

Warm wishes
