It is a disease designated as a Class 1 infectious disease according to the 'Infectious Disease Prevention and Management Act' that went into effect on December 30 , 2010.

Hepatitis A can threaten your life if you let your guard down. The only way to be free from hepatitis A for life is through vaccination.
Hepatitis B vaccine
It is transmitted through blood or sexual intercourse and can cause hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc. After 3 vaccinations, antibodies are produced in about 95% of cases, and once antibodies are produced, hepatitis B virus is almost completely prevented even if it enters the body. If antibodies are not produced, it is ineffective. In this case, a revaccination is required. Since vertical transmission between mother and child through the placenta is also possible, check for antibodies before pregnancy and get vaccinated if necessary.
