Why get vaccinated against hepatitis A? Hepatitis A vaccine can prevent hepatitis A. Hepatitis A is a serious liver disease. It is usually spread through close, personal contact with an infected person or when a person unknowingly ingests the virus from objects, food, or drinks that are contaminated by small amounts of stool (poop) from an infected person. Most adults with hepatitis A have symptoms, including fatigue, low appetite, stomach pain, nausea, and jaundice (yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, light-colored bowel movements). Most children less than 6 years of age do not have symptoms. A person infected with hepatitis A can transmit the disease to other people even if he or she does not have any symptoms of the disease. Most people who get hepatitis A feel sick for several weeks, but they usually recover completely and do not have lasting liver damage. In rare cases, hepatitis A can cause liver failure and death; this is more common in people older than 50 years and in people with other liver diseases. Hepatitis A vaccine has made this disease much less common in the United States. However, outbreaks of hepatitis A among unvaccinated people still happen.

Havrix is an intramuscular vaccine used to prevent hepatitis A. There is not currently a generic version of Havrix available. One dose of Havrix typically costs $120. If you do not have insurance, you can save up to 80% of the Havrix cost when using OptionRx’s free coupon.

You will receive a first dose of the vaccine and may get a second (booster) dose 6 to 12 months later.

Injection routeA nurse or other health provider will give you this medicine.

You should not receive this vaccine if you have had an allergic reaction to any type of hepatitis A vaccine or to neomycin.

Make sure your doctor knows if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you or your child have liver disease, a bleeding problem (such as hemophilia), a weak immune system from a disease or medicine, or severe illness with a fever.

Tell your doctor if you have a cold or the flu, especially if you have a fever. You may need to wait until you are well to receive this vaccine.

Yellowing of the skin or the whites of your eyes.

Your first shot of the vaccine should be given at least 2 weeks before you may be exposed to the hepatitis A virus. If you already have been exposed to the hepatitis A virus or if you need longer-term protection, you may receive an immune globulin shot when you get the hepatitis A vaccine.

This vaccine may cause a serious type of allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.

This vaccine may not protect you against hepatitis A infection if you are already infected with the virus at the time you receive the shot.
