A member asked:
Can you tell me if you are vaccinated with hepatitis a, b, c can you still get infected ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can't be vaccinated against hepatitis c because there's no vaccine. Hepatitis a and b vaccines are good vaccines, but no vaccine is 100% effective. After being vaccinated, you can find out whether you're protected with blood tests: total HAV antibody for a and hbsab for b. If those are negative, repeat or booster vaccination should be considered.
