hepatitis a and b is 3 shots?

hepatitis a and b is 3 shots?

I know i got hepatitis A vaccine a while back, but couldnt find hepatitis B on my shot record. instead it said hepatitis #3 shot. does that mean i couldve got vacinated for that too.

anyone ever have gall bladder symptoms and have them go away? i feel like im going to explode, you think not eating greasy foods for a week will help the pain?

As far as I know, Hep A vaccine is different from Hep B.  Hep A is usually given to people who are going to be health care workers.  Hep A comes from anything contaminated by feces, including food and water.  Hep B comes from contaminated blood.  If you need Hep B shots, don't assume the Hep A included it.  As for gall bladder, have you had specific trouble with that before?  If you give more info, others at this forum can help you better.  On "exploding," that may be caused by gas.  You can treat gas with alka seltzer or other antacids.  In general, eating greasy foods should be limited.

hey, thanks for the info. I have had a gerd and gout problems in the past, but it hasnt hurt like how it is lately, short pains on my right side.
tried using rolaids and nexium, but dont seem to work. going to stop eating fatty foods too lo. I lived overseas, cause im a diplomats son. I was just curious, do you need those vaccines to live outside the country?

The above link will tell you all sorts of things about vaccinations and health issues for traveling to and living in other countries.  If you have concerns about needing some sort of shot, or if you think you may have contracted something unusual, or if you want to know what vaccines you have likely received, go to the county health clinic.
