Anyone heard of this one?

My pharmacy sent me a text.

I knew someone who died of hepatitis (B?) because of liver failure.

Hep B has been on the Ontario vaccine schedule for at least 20 years. They administer it to all grade 7 students along with meningococcal conjugate and HPV. Hep A and monkeypox are not on the routine schedule here.

I thought Hep B was something that's usually administered to babies and/or school age kids, but that protocol would have started way before my time; I don't think the first version of the vaccine was invented till the 1980s/90s. I'm pretty sure I've never had the vaccine.

None of the three vaccines you mentioned have come up as recommended during my visits with my PCP.

I got a Hep A or B vaccine when I was going to a country that advised it. The trip was cancelled.
I had "jaundice" when I was four. Back when the doc steamed his needles and gave penicillin for everything.
