The vaccine is recommended for persons traveling to an area where hepatitis A is very common, including Africa, Asia except Japan, the Mediterranean basin, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central and South America, Mexico, and parts of the Caribbean. The Centers for Disease Control (404-332-4559) offers free travel information and recommendations about vaccines for people traveling to specific areas of the world. Others who may benefit from the vaccine are persons who engage in oral-anal intercourse, intravenous drug users, and daycare and institutional workers. Those with chronic liver problems may also benefit, since they may experience more serious illness if infected.

Within the United States, Native American and Alaskan Native populations are at higher risk for becoming infected with hepatitis A, so vaccination is recommended in them, as well as for people in areas of the country where the risk of infection is high.

This vaccine is only effective against hepatitis A; it offers no protection against other types of viral hepatitis. The average cost for each vaccine is about $40-70 for adults and less for the children’s vaccine.
