Are vaccines available for Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B, and what is the vaccine status for Hepatitis C?

• A. Yes for all Hepatitis types
• B. Yes for Hepatitis A and B
• C. No vaccines for Hepatitis C
• D. No vaccines for Hepatitis A or B

Answer: (B)

Vaccines exist for Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B, but there is no approved vaccine for Hepatitis C yet. This makes the statement that vaccines are available for Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B the correct choice. Hepatitis A vaccine is typically given in two doses and provides long-lasting protection, while the Hepatitis B vaccine is a recombinant vaccine given in a three-dose series and is widely used from infancy onward. For Hepatitis C, no vaccine is currently available, though research is ongoing. Other options don’t fit because they either claim vaccines exist for all types (which isn’t true since Hepatitis C has no approved vaccine), or they ignore the vaccines that do exist for A and B.
