Important information about hepatitis B

 

Have you already been vaccinated for hepatitis B? Today, babies receive a hepatitis B vaccination on their first day of life, but if you were born before 1991, you might not have received one. If you haven’t, hepatitis B vaccinations are also recommended for adults.

What you should know about hepatitis B

Hepatitis B affects the liver

Hepatitis B is a serious, potentially fatal liver disease, but a vaccine can prevent it in most people. You can become infected by directly touching blood and body fluids from others who have the virus.

Help prevent infection

The vaccine can help protect against infection from the hepatitis B virus, which can be transmitted through activities that involve skin puncture or contact with blood or body fluids of an infected person. Many people don’t know they are infected with the virus because they don’t look or feel sick; however, they can still spread the virus to others.
