A member asked:
What do the experts think, should my family physician give me a hepatitis b vaccine or do i need to go somewhere else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
FamilyDoctor: Your family doctor should be your local expert at preventative health including vaccines. Hepatitis b is a wise choice. Also ask about tdap (tetanus, diphtheria & pertussis) the us has been going through a major whooping cough outbreak & pertussis is a risk for babies & adult alike. Depending on your age group others may be important: meningitis in youth; Pneumovax and shingles older adults.
