Abstract
Rational strategies for preventing viral hepatitis are being developed as the epidemiology of the disease is becoming better defined. A vaccine is available only for hepatitis B. Other prophylactic strategies are based on avoidance of high-risk behavior and use of immune globulin. Universal vaccination for hepatitis B is now recommended.
