Vaccination (for Hepatitis B)

Hepatitis B vaccination is a safe and effective way to protect your body from the hepatitis B virus, which can cause serious liver problems. The vaccine contains a harmless piece of the virus, prompting your immune system to recognize it and build defenses. If you're later exposed to the actual virus, your body can quickly identify and fight it, preventing infection or reducing its severity. The vaccine is typically given through a series of shots and is recommended for infants, healthcare workers, and anyone at risk of exposure. Vaccination is a key step in maintaining long-term liver health and preventing disease.
