At present all over the world, near about 3 percent of the total population is infected by hepatitis C. In this disease, the virus enters in to the body and affects the liver. And later on it becomes dangerous and can further cause diseases like cirrhosis, liver cancer etc. And once it gets in to the human body, it becomes extremely dangerous. Unfortunately there was no vaccination for this virus earlier.

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have developed a vaccine which works against the effects of Hepatitis C. Jan Pravsgaard Christensen, an Associate Professor of Infection Immunology at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen has stated that the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects the human same as the HIV affects. But now it can be controlled with proper medication.

According to him, out of many affected people, rarely one infected patient has an immunity of overcoming a severe HCV infection in the first six months. However, in some cases there are no symptoms found and it goes on affecting the liver seriously.
