My daughter is starting playschool next month, and the school sent a list of recommended vaccinations. Hepatitis A was mentioned. What's the right age to get her that vaccine?

Actually yaar, kids usually get it after they turn 1 year old, around 12 to 23 months. But adults can also take it if they missed it during childhood, especially if traveling a lot. Just ask any local clinic, they will guide you easily.

It is normally given to toddlers between 12 and 23 months of age. Adults can also get vaccinated if they haven't taken it before.

Our pediatrician mentioned that the first dose of Hepatitis A vaccine is scheduled at 12 months, followed by a second dose six months later. If you are an adult and never got it, you can still take it in two doses. It is highly recommended to prevent waterborne infections.

In our family, we made sure all the kids got this vaccine around their first birthday as advised by our elder sister who is a nurse. But we always confirm the dates with our pediatrician before going to the clinic. It is safe and very important for children.

Don't go by generic vaccination schedules you find on internet forums. While the standard age for kids is after 1 year, adult requirements differ based on health status and travel. You must verify the exact dosage and suitability with a qualified doctor.
