VAQTA (hepatitis a vaccine): Reviews and patient testimonials

VAQTA Adult

VAQTA Adult is indicated for active pre-exposure prophylaxis against disease caused by hepatitis A virus. VAQTA Adult is recommended for healthy adults 18 years of age and older who are at risk of contracting or spreading infection or who are at risk of life-threatening disease if infected (e.g., those with Human Immunodeficiency Virus [HIV] or hepatitis C with diagnosed liver disease).

The use of VAQTA Adult should be based on official recommendations.

For optimal antibody response, primary immunisation should be given at least 2, preferably 4, weeks prior to expected exposure to hepatitis A virus.

VAQTA Adult will not prevent hepatitis caused by infectious agents other than hepatitis A virus.
