Can hepatitis b carrier can work in US?

The US takes a strong stand on anti-discrimination--being a carrier for Hep does not preclude you from employment ANYWHERE in the US. Your condition does not endanger anyone as long as you practice universal precautions--which any good nurse does anyhow. You do not have to be hep B negative to work in a health care setting in the US.

I work with a couple of nurses who are hep B and/or hep C positive. Nothing different is done for them than any other nurse. They have no restrictions. We would not even know that they were positive, except they (the nurses themselves) chose to share that information with us.

Yes. Seasonal flu shots for the 2009 - 2010 flu season are available. I just got my flu shot last Friday (Friday October 16th, 2009). So, if you haven't gotten yours yet, then I suggest you get your flu shot as soon as you can. I didn't even feel a thing when I got my shot.


The swine flu vaccines are being distributed for local vaccination programs and to doctors and other providers. They are currently being given to the higher risk groups first but by January 2010 the supply is expected to catch up with the demand so that everyone who wants one will have an opportunity to get the swine flu vaccination, too.

Unfortunately, Hepatitis C is one of the most dangerous of the hepatitis virii. No vaccine or cure is available. Hepatitis C can cause long-term or chronic liver damage. Teenagers and adults are at the highest risk of contracting Hepatitis C. It is transmitted through fluids, such as sexual intercourse, or through sharing needles with infected blood, or from a mother to a fetus in the womb.
