RECOMMENDED VACCINES FOR CHILDREN UNDER 2 YEARS

Hepatitis A Vaccine

The hepatitis A vaccine is indicated for the prevention of hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver caused by the virus A. It is an inactivated vaccine containing the hepatitis A virus antigen and it is administered intramuscularly. The National Immunization Program recommends a dose at 15 months of age. It is found in isolated form (in SUS). In the private health system, with an indication of two doses in an interval of 6 months between them, it is available in isolated form and in the Hepatitis A / B vaccine.

The Vaccine Observatory studies routine vaccines indicated for children under two years of age (except flu and yellow fever), considering the recommendations of the National Immunization Schedule of the National Immunization Program of the Ministry of Health.
