Question:
Hi Dr. George,
My husband has asthma since childhood. Is Hepatitis A vaccine contraindicated?
Thank you for your attention.
Doctor George's reply:
He should not be vaccinated only if he is allergic to components of the medication or if he has had previous infection with Hepatitis A (immunity is lifetime once you’ve had the disease). If he is sick or has fever, have him delay the vaccination until he is feeling better.
