ACIP Recommends Catch-up HepA Vaccination

By Marie Rosenthal, MS

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) unanimously voted to recommend that all children and adolescents aged 24 months through 18 years who have not received a vaccine against hepatitis A virus (HAV) be vaccinated routinely at any age.

The previous recommendation to provide catch-up vaccination for HAV was a shared clinical decision.
