How can a Hepatitis A infection be prevented?
• The illness can be prevented by a shot immune globulin within 2 weeks of exposure • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water after using the bathroom, changing diapers, and before preparing/eating food. • Clean and disinfect bathrooms and diaper-changing surfaces frequently. • Never change diapers on eating or food preparing surfaces. • Cook shellfish before eating. • Drink water from approved source only. For additional information see the Marler Clark sponsored Web sites about hepatitis A and about hepatitis A litigation.
