Hi, since near are 3 shots for Hepatitis B apart, still is nessesary to vacine against A and C Hepatitis?


Answers:    Hi,
e is no vaccine for Hepatitis C yet. People who test positive for Hep C infection should get Hepatitis B and Hepatitis A vaccines to protect their livers against further vaccine preventable sprain. Hepatitis C is mainly needle related (eg, sharing needles used for drugs/tattoos).

Heptatitis B vaccine (blood and body fluids) be introduced into the vaccine schedule in the early 80s, and into the infant vaccine calendar shortly thereafter. Hepatitis A vaccine (food/waterborne) is mainly given for people traveling places where the food and hose down sources may be risky.

If adults get Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccines separately, it comes to a total of 6 jabs. The vaccines are particularly safe and produce few side effects. The only contraindication is anaphylactic allergy to a previous dose.

Good luck with your judgment.
