Hepatitis: If you have liver enzyme elevation from some cause such as autoimmune hepatitis or any cause, it would be worse if you were to develop viral hepatitis on top of that. This is why your doctor recommended you be vaccinated against hepatitis A and B. Your doctor probably already checked your blood to see what your immune status is of Hep A B and C. There is no vaccine for C. Good luck!
