A 34-year-old man is reviewed after mildly elevated liver enzymes were found on insurance testing. He feels well and denies jaundice, pruritus, abdominal pain, fever, or weight loss. He drinks 2–3 beers on weekends and does not regularly use acetaminophen. He recently started work as a security guard at a homeless shelter and is concerned about “getting hepatitis.” He has no known chronic medical conditions, no history of injection drug use, and no prior hepatitis vaccination. He is not immunocompromised. What is the most appropriate primary prevention strategy to reduce his future risk of viral hepatitis?
Full answer analysis and choices are available inside the practice session.
