New CDC recommendations on Hepatitis C for Baby Boomers

 

The Centers For Disease Control & Prevention have come out with a recommendation that "Baby Boomers" (everyone born during 1945 through 1965) get tested for Hepatitis C.  I didn't realize that Baby Boomers were defined quite that broadly.  Thought I'd share what the CDC are saying about it, as they are expecting a rise in the numbers of people who will develop serious health problems from Hepatitis C.  Early detection can make a difference!
