My Take on the Hepatitis A Vaccine

This vaccine seems to have more risks than benefits for one-year-old babies. Children this age are at minimal risk from hepatitis A infection but maximal vulnerability to toxins.

I used to recommend this vaccine for every child after age two. After reviewing the data, I now believe that it is best to skip this vaccine altogether for children, especially in the preschool age group, when avoiding toxins continues to be very important. The bottom line is that most states see no reason to mandate this vaccine, the illness is very mild among children, and hepatitis A is extremely rare in the United States. Most of my families decline it, filling out a personal belief or religious exemption form required by day cares, pre-K programs, and public schools.

Families traveling overseas to areas where hepatitis A is prevalent may want to get this vaccine.
