Actually, Hep B may be more appropriate, as nobody's really sure how it's
transmitted.  Speculation includes contact in moist enviornments, like
bathrooms and changing rooms.  Some people use these in diving locations
(most of the real diver deck change!).  There is a vaccine (cost me $45 US),
there isn't a cure.
