Is it necessary for children to get the hepatitis A vaccine?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The hepatitis A vaccine should be administered to children around a year after birth. If the child was not vaccinated at birth, it should be promptly. If the vaccine has already been administered, the effective immune period of the hepatitis A vaccine is 5-10 years. In such cases, can be given after waiting for 5 to 10 years, and the child can still be vaccinated now.
