Hepatitis A is a viral infection that targets the liver. It is caused by Hepatitis A virus, also called HAV. It is mainly transmitted through contaminated food or water. Travelling to regions with poor sanitation significantly increases the risk of infection, making vaccination crucial for travellers.

Hepatitis A Vaccination Dosage Schedule
