Hepatitis A Vaccination:
You and your husband should get vaccinated against Hepatitis A. The Hepatitis A vaccine is effective in preventing infection and is recommended for individuals who have been exposed to the virus, especially when there’s known close contact with an infected person.
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis:
Hepatitis A Immunoglobulin: If the exposure was recent (within the last two weeks), consider receiving Hepatitis A immunoglobulin in addition to the vaccine for immediate protection.
Next Steps
General Precautions:
• Hygiene: Practice good hygiene, including frequent hand washing with soap and water, especially after using the bathroom and before eating.
• Avoid Shared Utensils: Avoid sharing food, drinks, and eating utensils with the infected person until they are no longer contagious.
