My unit in RVN had to get a hepatitis shot, I do not recall the type of hepatitis it was for.
Rumor had it they used a SQUARE NEEDLE, cause it hurt like hell. I think it was called gamma globunim????

Widely hated.

Gamma globulin is a treatment, not a caccine. Injections are usually given in an attempt to temporarily boost a patient’s immunity against disease. Injections are most commonly used on patients having been exposed to hepatitis A or measles

That was probably the B variety. C is also pushed hard by the health authorities now but it is peripheral, gays and local hospitals in VN. Type A is more easily treated and is rare there as well as here.
