Hepatitis A Vaccine
Vaccination is highly recommended to offer protection for at least 12 years. Hepatitis A vaccine is normally administered as an injection given in two doses 6 to 12 months apart. Vaccination has been proven to reduce infection cases significantly especially in countries with formal vaccination programs like China, Belarus, Australia, United States and Canada. According to experts, vaccination is crucial for those people who stand the highest risk of getting Hepatitis A i.e., intravenous drug users, homosexual men as well as people suffering from liver disease. People who travel often to high-risk areas should also get vaccinated.
