Dpe the availabily of safe and effective vacc that n prevent both HAV and HBV fectn, many gay and bisexual men have not been aquately vaccated agast viral hepatis—even though there is a high prevalence of the fectns among MSM.

Although the HHS Advisory Commtee on Immunizatn Practic remends hepatis A and hepatis B vaccatn for MSM, data available om CDC dit that only about 30 percent of gay men are vaccated.
