With a number of outbreaks of the viral liver disease Hepatitis A, men who have sex with around Victoria are eligible for a free vaccination as of this week.

While Hepatitis A symptoms last for weeks or months and generally cause no long term liver damage, anyone interested in protecting themselves can ask their doctor for a vaccine or go to a sexual health clinic.

Dean Arcuri speaks to Melanie Eagle, the CEO of Hepatitis Victoria about the Hepatitis A outbreak, how you can get vaccinated, and what you need to look out for in case you are infected.

This segment aired on The Informer on JOY 94.9 on 22nd January 2018.
