VAQTA

VAQTA is a vaccine used to protect against hepatitis A, a contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus. It stimulates your immune system to recognize and fight the virus if exposed in the future. Typically administered through an injection in the arm, VAQTA is recommended for travelers, food handlers, and others at risk of infection. The vaccine is effective in preventing hepatitis A illness, reducing the risk of complications, and helping to control outbreaks. It is generally safe, with possible minor side effects like soreness at the injection site or mild fever.
