The three most commonly identified causes of viral hepatitis in the United States are hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are infected by these viruses; many experience illness as a result. This article discusses current recommendations for vaccination and other forms of prophylaxis aimed at minimizing the clinical effects of these viruses.
