Hepatitis Vaccines

Hepatitis vaccines are used to prevent hepatitis infections caused by certain viruses, primarily hepatitis A and hepatitis B. These infections can lead to liver disease, including chronic conditions, liver failure, and liver cancer. Vaccination is a crucial public health measure to control and prevent these diseases. These vaccines are highly effective in preventing hepatitis A and B infections and their associated complications. Vaccination not only protects the individual but also helps reduce the spread of these viruses in the community, contributing to public health efforts to eliminate hepatitis-related diseases. It is important to follow the vaccination schedule recommended by healthcare providers, tailored to an individual’s risk factors and health status.
