Abstract: Safe and effective vaccines against hepatitis A have now been available on the market for almost 15 years. This review focuses on the evidence of the effect of such vaccination in children when applied both within routine immunization programs and in groups at high risk of infection, but also as a measure to stop limited or community-wide outbreaks.
