That’s OK; those that make decisions based on reason and logic can receive vaccines; those that choose to live by fear and superstition can go without; fair enough?

In the end it boils down to gene pool management ….

Congrats on the new job!!

I think it is a very good idea to get vaccinated for hepatitis A & hepatitis B.

My hepatologist insisted on getting a total of three hep b shots altogether.  

Good luck with your testing!!!!!!!!

Yes, by all means get vaccinated, Virgocharm. I think the majority of us have gotten them as well. Good luck with the job search--
