Who should get the hepatitis A vaccine before traveling?
Anyone traveling to or working in countries with high rates of Hepatitis A should talk to a health professional about getting vaccinated. He or she is likely to recommend vaccination or a shot of immune globulin before traveling to countries in Central or South America, Mexico, and certain parts of Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe. CDC’s Travelers’ Health site provides detailed information about Hepatitis A and other recommended vaccines at wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/yellowBookCH4-HepA.aspx.
