Hep A Vaccination Question
by twanda718, Feb 15, 2009 07:41PM
We have received the first shot in the series of two. I understand that the second needs to be at least 6 months from the first. My questions are:
If we just get the one vaccination, how long will it cover us for Hep A (we need a total of 1.5 years from initial vaccination)?
How far past the 6 months can I wait to get the second shot and still make it effective?
Also, how close to the actual travel date can the last shot be?
Our trip is to South Africa Aug. 1 of this year. However, we are currently waiting to qualify for health insurance and the vaccines aren't cheap in Colorado.
Thank You!
