There is a Hepatitis A vaccine that prevents hep a but you need 2 shots separated by 6-12 or 6-18 months depending on which vaccine your using and it is expensive so the first challenge is money. Bruce
I recently received the following question from a doctor and I was hoping that some of you could assist me in answering it thanks.
"I have many years of experience as a public health medical epidemiologist, and recently have begun working with a consultant laboratory providing services nationally and in Mexico and central America as well. Some clients have shown some interest in having hepatitis A vaccination programs for agricultural workers. Do you know of any agencies, companies, or other organizations that have set up or maintained such programs? Can you provide me with contact references to them? Thanks for your assistance."
