Great question!!!
First of all, I was simply going to say I thought being vaccinated against hepatitis was important for many people, including those like me who spend more time than they should in hospitals where their exposure is increased. Also, hepatitis is spread by food workers who don't wash their hands and I love to eat out (more than I should).
However, the truth is I love to research answers. I cam across a web site that poses even more questions about other diseases to be protected against. I can honestly say I never thought about them. I'll post their questions and you can go to their website for the answers:
Just the flu or Influenza?
Is your adolescent protected from meningitis?
Bitten by a wild animal? Learn about Rabies.
Cut or wounded? Learn about Tetanus.

I stand behind and believe in preventive vaccinations totally...Take it from me, I have had pneumonia and hepatitis both and believe me it was not fun. I was oh so sick and was stuck on steroids time after time, and now I've got this problem with my weight...Get the shot it's not that bad...If there's anything to be scared about it's not getting that simple shot...
If you are afraid of getting these diseases don't, it's rare that you will contract these disease's by getting these shots to prevent it. If you are afraid of getting a needle prick...just turn your head away from looking at the nurse while she's giving it to you.

I work in the medical field, it is required. It's a smart idea to do, and there are little to no side effects from most vaccinations, though the anthrax one made me ill for about 2 weeks! You never know what situations you will encounter, and isn't it better to be safe than sorry?

I like them. I would take them over the illnesses any day!! I haven't had a flu shot in 3 years and have been getting the flu at least once a year for that duration. I would rather have the shot and avoid it, thank you. I have never had any bad reactions to any of them and would gladly take them if offered. Good question!!!

I got the Hep B shots and I am glad I did especially working in the medical field. It's not worth taking the chance when there are choices.
