Hepatitis B and the H1N1 Vaccine
by care4me, Oct 21, 2009 11:03PM
Hello,
Recentlly I was diagnosed with Hep B. At this point I am not sure if i'm a chronic carrier or not because my appointment with the specialist is months from now.
Now that the flu season is coming soon and this new virus out there I was wondering if a person with Hepatitis B is considered a person with a "chronic disease". This will justify getting a H1N1 vaccine.
At this point they only suggest children, pregnant women, the elderly and those with severe illnesses get the vaccine. Should those with Hepatitis get the vaccine?
