Is there a way to prevent hepatitis?
I'm travelling to a place where hepatitis is prevalent, so can I get an inoculation to protect me against infection?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Hepatitis is a serious medical condition that has a social stigma on it. It is a communicable disease that can be acquired through direct contact to infected person’s blood and other mucous secretions. It can be acquired through sexual contact with an infected person, contamination of surgical equipment during a surgical procedure, and direct exposure to infected mucous secretions. It can lead to serious complications if left untreated.
However, this condition is highly preventable. There are vaccines available against hepatitis. You may ask your doctor about the indication and administration of this vaccine. It can protect your body from being infected by the hepatitis virus. Hepatitis types A and B can be prevented through vaccination. The best way to prevent another type of hepatitis (hepatitis C) is to avoid direct contact with the blood and other mucous of an infected person.
