FAQs
What is hepatitis A?

When should Havrix 720 Junior Monodose Vaccine be given?
Havrix 720 Junior Monodose Vaccine is usually given as a single initial injection. After that a second dose is given 6 to 12 months later. Two doses can help you protect yourself from getting an infection for at least 20 years. Persons who are travelling should preferably take the initial dose of the medicine at least 2 weeks before leaving, although it can be given up to the day of your departure, if needed. However, it would be best to consult your doctor regarding the use of medicine.
I think I have been exposed to hepatitis A. What should I do?
If you think you have been exposed to hepatitis A, consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor will decide what is best for you, based on your age and overall health. If you were recently exposed to hepatitis A virus and have not been vaccinated against hepatitis A, you might benefit from an injection of either hepatitis A vaccine or immune globulin. However, the vaccine or immune globulin are only effective if given within the first 2 weeks after exposure.
Is Hepatitis A infection fatal or life-threatening?
Hepatitis A infection usually does not cause liver disease. However, in some cases, it may lead to acute liver failure which can be life-threatening.
Is hepatitis A curable?
No, there's currently no cure for hepatitis A, but it normally gets better on its own within a couple of months. However, it is better to consult a doctor if you think you are exposed to hepatitis A virus to rule out any other serious conditions that have similar symptoms.
Is Hepatitis A infection contagious?
Yes, Hepatitis A virus infection is contagious.
What is Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)?
Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) refers to trying to prevent or treat a disease after an exposure. For hepatitis A, postexposure prophylaxis is an injection of either hepatitis A vaccine or immune globulin. However, the vaccine or immune globulin are only effective in preventing hepatitis A if given within the first 2 weeks after exposure.
I had hepatitis A in the past, can I get it again?
No. Once you recover from hepatitis A, you develop antibodies that protect you from the virus for life. An antibody is a substance found in the blood which is produced by the body in response to a virus. Antibodies protect the body from disease by attaching to the virus and destroying it.
How long does hepatitis A virus survive outside the body?
The hepatitis A virus can survive for months outside the body. However, the virus can get destroyed at high temperatures, such as boiling or cooking food/liquids for at least 1 minute at 185°F (85°C), although freezing temperatures do not have any effect on it.

Yes, mild fever may occur after administering Havrix 720 Junior Monodose Vaccine. Contact your doctor if your fever worsens or does not go away.
Is Havrix 720 Junior Monodose Vaccine necessary?
