About VAQTA

VAQTA is a vaccine designed to protect against hepatitis A, a highly contagious liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus. This vaccine is an inactivated form of the virus, which means it contains killed or weakened virus particles that cannot cause the disease.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Prevents hepatitis A infection in individuals who have not previously been infected or vaccinated.
• Recommended for travelers to areas where hepatitis A is common, such as certain countries in Central and South America, Africa, and Asia.
• Also recommended for individuals who work with hepatitis A virus in a laboratory setting or who have close contact with someone who has hepatitis A.

Active Ingredient & Action

The active ingredient in VAQTA is HEPATITIS A VACCINE, INACTIVATED. This vaccine works by stimulating the body's immune system to produce antibodies against the hepatitis A virus. These antibodies help to neutralize the virus and prevent infection.

Important Notes

VAQTA should be administered by a healthcare professional in accordance with the recommended dosing schedule. It is essential to follow the recommended vaccination schedule to ensure optimal protection against hepatitis A. Individuals with a history of severe allergic reactions to any component of the vaccine should not receive VAQTA. Consult a healthcare professional for more information and to discuss any concerns or questions you may have.
