Regarding hepatatis A vaccine
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.
