Food handlers pose the risk of spreading the disease to others. Hepatitis A immunizations are now required for school aged children. Children ages four and under need a prescription from their doctor.
Hepatitis B Immunizations
Any person with the possibility of exposure to blood and bloody body fluids should receive a Hepatitis B immunization, as well as adolescents, teens and young adults.
