I've read the CDC site for the countries I'll be visiting and have the recommended vaccinations including one that's not needed, but since I'll be very very close to the border where it is needed I went ahead and got the extra vaccination.
But, what about Hep-B the only reason to get it is if there is blood involved. Cuts and scratches one covers with a bandaid are not a concern. I've read on here and seen some videos of injuries that will require some quick medical attention and stitching up of wounds with lots of blood. The body can loose quite a bit of blood and it still not be a concern before the blood has to be supplemented. So, my question is: What is the recommendation for Hep-B vaccination. Is it needed?
