HBV in liver disease: Typically, liver disease is a reason to give hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis A (HAV) vaccines, rather than a reason not to. When liver cells are damaged, such as in liver disease, AST and ALT (enzymes within liver cells) are high on blood tests. People with chronic liver disease are at increased risk for severe complications of viral hepatitis such as hepatitis A or hepatitis B.

Yes: The vaccine itself has no direct interaction with the liver and is not expected to affect it in any way.
