Which type of hepatitis is known to have a vaccine available?

The correct answer is that there is a vaccine available for Hepatitis A. Hepatitis A is a viral infection that primarily spreads through the consumption of contaminated food and water. The vaccine against Hepatitis A is highly effective and is typically recommended for individuals traveling to areas where the virus is prevalent, as well as for certain high-risk groups. The vaccine not only provides individual protection but also contributes to broader community immunity when uptake is high.

Hepatitis B also has a vaccine available, which is another crucial tool in preventing transmission of the virus and is part of routine childhood vaccinations in many parts of the world. In contrast, there is currently no vaccine for Hepatitis C, as its virus is more complex and has multiple genotypes, making vaccine development challenging. Hepatitis E does not have a widely available vaccine either, although some vaccines are under development or used in specific regions. Thus, while both Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B have vaccines, the response focused on Hepatitis A alone.
