Answer 2

Hepatitis B is a viral infection. Similar to Hepatitis A, D, C, E. Hepatitis B is usually transmitted through blood contact, but can also be transmitted on surfaces, through saliva, breast milk and sexual intercourse. There is no "antibiotic" that can treat a virus. You must prevent it with vaccinations.

Answer 3

The flu is a Viral infection. That is why the Doctor doesn't give out antibiotics for it. The doctor may give an anti-viral medication if the patient is horribly ill and the flu they have is a strain that reacts to that particular medication but that would be rare.

The reason why the flu vaccine is always such a big deal at the very beginning of each flu season is because the flu strain itself as more than likely mutated since the last epidemic. That means that the epidemiologists have to find out what the new strain(s) is, get a sample, grow it/recreate it, get it into a form that can be made injectible, etc. That changes every season!
