Regarding hepatatis A vaccine

2018-08-13 14:48:26
Hello doctor, My daughter had given her hepatatis A vaccine in May 2018. Name of vaccine is BIOVAC A. I want to know that only one dose of this vaccine is enough or any booster dose is required? Because I have heard that 2 doses of hepatatis A are required in a gap of 6 months. Thank you.

Single dose recommended for Biovac A but a booster after 6 months is a wise decision

Dear parents,      Now days single live hepatitis A vaccine is given. Biovac A is live vaccine. So no booster dose is required.
