Hepatitis A is a highly contagious viral infection. It attacks the liver, causing inflammation and potentially serious illness. The virus spreads primarily through contaminated food and water or direct contact with an infected person. Unlike Hepatitis B and C, Hepatitis A does not cause chronic liver disease. However acute infections can be severe and debilitating.
Hepatitis A infection is particularly common in destinations popular with British travellers, making the Hepatitis A vaccine one of the most frequently recommended travel vaccines.
The Hepatitis A vaccine provides high levels of protection against infection. A two-dose primary course provides long-term protection, with the second dose given 6–12 months after the first. For those at ongoing risk, a reinforcing dose is recommended at 25 years after the primary course.
Hepatitis A is endemic in over 100 countries worldwide
