Isn't Gamma Globulin outdated. For Hep A there are now 10 year vaccines available, Havrix (IIRC) is one - no doubt there are others. One shot, then a booster a short while later and your covered for a decade. Without the booster it only lasts a year I think. Gamma Globulin was barely effective and even then lasted only a
very short time a few weeks with any efficacy.
Perhaps immunisation practice in the US is different but I've not been offered Gamma Globulin since the early 90s.
