Sonia: #ICantWait To Vaccinate My Baby.

Sonia brings a voice to the almost 300 million people living with hepatitis B in her #BtheVoice interview. She discusses how important it was for her to vaccinate her children at birth and the hurdles she faced in receiving the birth dose vaccine in Nigeria. It was costly, and unavailable in her town, so they had to travel to get the dose.

She also discusses to issues with stigma and discrimination and admits that she has not told many people outside of the medical community. She stresses the need for understanding of the virus and states, "It does not make you less than a person."
