A number of veterans as
well as doctors now
believe that Vietnam
veterans...could have
contracted hepatitis C
through unsafe jet gun
vaccinations.
While it’s possible the government’s position on transmission of hepatitis C among boomers may have resulted in less testing, it’s critical today boomers forget any fears of stigma and get the easy blood test.

Summary:
Approximately 174,000
veterans in Veterans
Health Administration (VHA)
care, are diagnosed
with hepatitis C. An
additional 50,000
veterans that have
hepatitis C, remain
unidentified in the
Health
Administration.
Compelling
scientific evidence
suggest Jetgun
injectors used
during Military mass
vaccination sessions
and dental
procedures are a
risk factor and need
to be listed as a
warning for
providers to test
for hepatitis C..
Please read why we
are contacting the
Senate Veterans
Committee for help.

Dr
Mohamed Alkhatib,
Infection Control
Specialist at John F
Kennedy Memorial
Hospital, who said,
"The potential for
transmission of
blood borne
pathogens like
hepatitis c is high
because of the way
this instrument was
used, stored and
cleaned and it
cannot be considered
to be sterile at any
time. All veterans
that were given
vaccines with this
instrument should be
tested for hepatitis
c and if found to be
positive, offered
treatment."
