Its use is also suggested in individuals at high risk of exposure to hepatitis A, such as healthcare workers who manage hepatitis cases and people with chronic liver diseases.
Composition
Each 1 mL dose of Vaqta contains:
- Inactivated hepatitis A virus (HM-175 strains): 1.44-1.88 Vero cell culture
- Excipients: sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, water for injection.
Contraindications
Vaqta is contraindicated in individuals with a history of severe allergic reactions to any component of the vaccine or to previous doses of the hepatitis A vaccine. Its use is not recommended in patients with high fever or moderate to severe acute illness.
Precautions
Caution should be exercised in immunocompromised patients or those undergoing immunosuppressive treatment, as the immune response may be diminished. Additionally, the patient's health status should be evaluated before administration and appropriate follow-up should be considered after vaccination.
Storage
Vaqta should be stored under refrigeration between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children and protect from light. The vaccine must be used before the expiration date indicated on the packaging.
