Im 18, and i live with my mom and dad, along with my 2 brothers and little sister. We've been vaccinated when we were kids.. Should we be worried about infection?

If you've been vaccinated, you should be protected from the virus. Everyone who's been vaccinated should have their blood titered to make sure the vaccine is working (it's a simple blood test). I've been told the HBV vaccine protects you for life.

All types of Hep are contagious. There is a vaccination you can get if worried. And follow up shots called "titer shots" I believe. Most EMS employees get them. Blood is the most common way on infection. I can not recall any other ways to "catch" Hep.

you should be worried about him first...
but about you and your family vaccine B is recommended every 10 years with booster dose 6 months after the first dose for those who are in close contact to the host of the virus and so...
