Hey, don't worry, the Hepatitis A vaccine prevents Hepatitis A infection. It's a viral liver disease that you can get from contaminated food or water, or close contact with an infected person. Getting vaccinated is a good, proactive step to protect your liver health, especially if you travel a lot or eat out often.
