2 doses of HEPATITIS A vaccine can be given 6 months apart. This can be given at an age before 15 years.
No major side effects. Mild side effects like with any vaccine ie fever, redness or swelling at injection site.

Yes. You should vaccinate your child with two doses of Hepatitis A vaccine . Second dose should be after 6 months of first dose. Side effects are very mild, like mild pain at injection site.
