What is the hepatitis A vaccine?
Hepatitis A is a viral infection of the liver. It spreads mainly through contaminated food or water, or close contact with an infected person. In adults, it can cause fever, tiredness, nausea and jaundice (yellow skin and eyes), and recovery can take weeks. The hepatitis A vaccine helps the body build protection against the virus.
In Korea, many young adults are not immune to hepatitis A, because they were not exposed as children and may not have been vaccinated. For this reason, vaccination is often discussed for adults who are not immune.
Who should consider the hepatitis A vaccine?
- Adults without proof of immunity or vaccination
- People planning travel to areas where hepatitis A is common
- People with chronic liver disease
- People planning pregnancy who want to update their vaccines (see pre-pregnancy checkup)
How does vaccination work at the clinic?
- Consultation in English: Dr. Eun reviews your vaccination history, health conditions, allergies and whether you are pregnant or planning pregnancy.
- Antibody test (optional): A hepatitis A IgG blood test can show whether you are already immune, so you may not need the vaccine. This is part of our immunity blood tests.
- Schedule: The vaccine is usually given as two doses, with the second dose several months after the first. The doctor tells you the exact timing.
- Injection: The vaccine is given as an injection, usually in the upper arm.
- Observation: You wait about 15 minutes after the injection in case of a reaction.
- Record: Ask for your vaccination details so you can keep your own record for your next dose, school, work or travel.
What are the side effects?
The hepatitis A vaccine is generally well tolerated. Common side effects include soreness or redness at the injection site, headache, tiredness and mild fever. Serious allergic reactions are rare. Tell the doctor if you had a reaction to a previous vaccine. If you are pregnant, discuss the benefits and risks with the doctor first.
