Protect Yourself with the Hepatitis A Vaccine

Hepatitis A is a viral infection that can cause liver damage. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent it. The vaccine is given as an injection, typically in two doses, spaced six months apart. The vaccine is safe for most adults and children over one year old.

The vaccine helps your body develop immunity, providing long-lasting protection against the virus. You may experience mild side effects like redness or swelling at the injection site, but these are usually short-lived. It’s important to stay on schedule with your vaccinations to ensure full protection.
