Shots before travel... hep A...???????
Hi everyone,
Well, I called my dr. and she told me to call my county health dept. Well i did, and I can get a hep A shot for $30. She said it will help alot even if I travel in less than 2 weeks. My question is.. I was in Guate about 6 weeks ago.. (I had no shot for this trip..). I am doubtful that I got exposed while there.. but you never know... Could I be doing damage if I get the first shot tomorrow (if I was exposed)????? Sorry about the dumb question.. sometimes I wish I was a nurse..since i know nothing about livers... lol Also, is Hep A the only Hep shot i need???? Thanks,

I used to be a nurse - I think you would know by now if you were exposed to HepA - it is more of a sudden illness than HepB. They recommended HepB for me to, but I already had the vaccine. It is contracted through blood and body fluids so I think you would be less likely to be exposed. Also, I'm not sure if there is time to receive any immunity from HepB within two weeks.
