Once again, you've given me good information to think about - I've never thought of needing to get Hepatitis vaccines. My husband got vaccinated when he was a medical worker, and I think that one vaccination lasts for his lifetime? I'm not sure. But now I realize I don't know which hepatitis he was vaccinated against.
Thanks Heather. I hadn't thought about hepatitis vaccines much either until I saw it on New Zealand's vaccination schedule and thought I'd look into it. I was surprised how complicated it turned out to be.
It's not entirely clear how long the hepatitis vaccines last, but a single dose doesn't last too long. If I remember correctly from the information, with the full regime (usually 2 or 3 doses) then it's at least 10 years. With medical workers, it was probably hepatitis B, since that's a big risk with needle stick injuries and other contact with bodily fluids.
Such well-developed food for thought, and so true about the importance and resilience of the liver—it's truly a remarkable gift. Also very interesting perspective on the Hepatitis vaccines, thanks for sharing!
