Details?: Don't get hepatitis a or b vaccine if "moderately or severely" ill : fever, chills, 'flu-like' vomiting, diarrhea. If intense degree of illness puts you in bed, delay vaccine. Always ask your provider to be sure. You can be vaccinated if you have a cold, mild cough, etc. Avoid Hepatitis B Vaccine if life-threatening allergy to yeast. Avoid hepatitis a if severe allergy to latex.
