Adults who have not been vaccinated previously and want to be protected against hepatitis A can also get the vaccine. A booster dose is usually not required for both child and adult. Ensure the injection site is clean and follow your healthcare provider's instructions to get the most benefit from the vaccine. The best way to prevent hepatitis A is through vaccination.
