Yes, but only for two types of viral hepatitis, hepatitis A and hepatitis B. There are no vaccines yet to prevent hepatitis C, D, or E. See the related question below for more information.
There is no vaccine for hepatitis C.
Hepatitis C and hepatitis E have no vaccine to prevent the disease. Although there is no vaccine to prevent hepatitis D, you can only get this type if you're also infected with type B. Therefore, hepatitis B vaccine indirectly prevents hepatitis D.
Since Hepatitis B vaccine only protects against Hepatitis B, the only thing the vaccine controls is Hepatitis B infections.
There is currently no vaccine available against Hepatitis C. There is research going on to develop one but it will take years at least before one is developed.
Once you have had Hepatitis B there is no need for a Hepatitis B vaccine. The vaccine is only effective for those who have not had the disease, it is used to prevent a hepatitis B infection.
No, the Hepatitis-B vaccine is not given to individuals who are already infected with the Hepatitis-B virus. The vaccine is designed to prevent infection by stimulating the immune system to produce protective antibodies. Once a person is already infected, the vaccine cannot cure or treat the disease. Instead, infected individuals require proper medical evaluation, antiviral treatment, and regular monitoring to manage the infection and reduce the risk of liver damage. For hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers looking to source trusted Hepatitis-B vaccines for prevention, Eb2bmart connects you with verified manufacturers and suppliers to ensure safe and reliable availability.
For Hepatitis A, it is usually just called "The Hepatitis A vaccine" but is marketed under the brand names Havrix and Vaqta. Hepatitis B is marketed under the brand name Comvax. There isn't a vaccine for Hepatitis C.
It is unlikely. Hepatitis A vaccine is a two-dose series.
There's a Hepatitis B vaccine that can prevent it.
HBs Ag is basically the Hepatitis vaccine.
There is a vaccine for it.
The Hepatitis B vaccine was developed in 1965 and is used to help the prevention of hepatitis V virus infection. It is also the first anti-cancer vaccine because it helps prevent liver cancer.
