Check your Hep A vaccine status
News
There are currently multiple hepatitis A outbreaks across the nation. Though JMU is not experiencing an outbreak, the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) has identified an increase in hepatitis A cases statewide. The best way to prevent hepatitis A is to get the hepatitis A vaccine. Students can check their immunization records on MyJMUHealth or talk with their doctor to see if they have already received the hepatitis A vaccine. If they have not gotten the hepatitis A vaccine, they can get the vaccine at:
- The University Health Center
- Harrisonburg-Rockingham Health Department
- A local pharmacy
- Their doctor’s office
