Final answer:

No, the vaccine for Hepatitis B does not provide protection against Hepatitis C.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the vaccine that prevents Hepatitis B (HBV) is not effective for Hepatitis C (HCV). While there are vaccines available to prevent infection with HBV and HAV (Hepatitis A virus), there is currently no vaccine available for HCV. Vaccination for HBV can provide protection against HDV (Hepatitis D virus), as HDV requires HBV for replication. However, it does not provide protection against HCV.
