When did they start giving hepatitis shots?


I can't find any records and I don't think I got them.

Which form of Hepititas are you referring to?
A - common
B - A little more serious. Eventual cirhossis of the liver. Usually obtained by between blood to blood or fluid contact from an infected person to another.
C - Most serious case.

Most vaccine shots are give in 3 doses. The US just started to give the Hep A shots to kids recently. The doctor will need to take a blood sample to determine if you are a carrier of Hep,if you have Hep and which one, and if you are not sure if you had your shots...the blood test can determine if you have any antibodies for them. Your physician will have more pamphlets to let you know.

If you do have Hep B or C, you will need to avoid hot, spicy foods that aggravate your liver condition. Eliminate alcohol consumption so as to no accelerate liver deteriation. Depending on how old you are and your liver condition, there are treatments for Hep. It is not a cure, but a treatment. Sometimes the Hep can also go into remission. Best talk with your physician.
