常見錯誤

❌The doctor said I have HAV virus.
✅The doctor said I have HAV.
💡The V in HAV already stands for virus, so saying HAV virus is redundant.

✅Passengers should get the hepatitis A vaccine for HAV.
💡HAV stands for hepatitis A, not hepatitis B; the two are different viruses with separate vaccines.
