Hi, As a teenager in 1976 I had hepatitis A. My 2 brothers were given shots so they would not get it. What shot could that have been since the hepatitis A shot didn't come out until the 90s.

If you were recently exposed to hepatitis A virus and have not been vaccinated against hepatitis A, you might benefit from an injection of either immune globulin or hepatitis A vaccine. However, the vaccine or immune globulin are only effective if given within the first 2 weeks after exposure.
