Inactivated Hapatitis A Vaccine

Keep your hands clean because hepatitis A can spread through dirty food and water. Wash your hands after using the bathroom, changing diapers, and before and after cooking to help stop the infection. Eat a healthy diet. Speak with a dietitian to create a meal plan. Avoid greasy foods and raw or undercooked meals. Stay away from drinking alcohol. Keep a healthy weight. Get tested for hepatitis if you take care of or live with someone who has it. If you have diabetes, do not share your blood sugar meters, lancets, or any other items with others, as this can spread the infection.

Staying under medical supervision for 30 minutes after immunization is recommended, as Inactivated Hapatitis A Vaccine can cause severe allergic reactions, including an itchy rash, swelling of the face, throat, or tongue, and breathing difficulties.

You should not receive Inactivated Hapatitis A Vaccine if you have experienced a severe allergic reaction to any previous hepatitis A vaccine or to any ingredients in Inactivated Hapatitis A Vaccine, such as neomycin or formaldehyde. This vaccine is also not recommended if you are experiencing a severe feverish illness, although a minor cold is generally acceptable. Additionally, it is not suitable for children under 1 year old, as its safety and effectiveness have not been established for that age group.

It helps protect against hepatitis A, a viral infection that affects the liver and spreads through contaminated food and water.

Usually, two doses are needed for complete protection. The second dose is given 6–12 months after the first dose, as advised by your doctor.

It is given as an injection into the muscle, usually in the upper arm or thigh, by a healthcare professional.
