THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
1.1
INDICATIONS AND USE
VAQTA
1
[Hepatitis A Vaccine, Inactivated] is indicated for the prevention of
disease caused by
hepatitis A virus (HAV) in persons 12 months of age and older. The
primary dose should be given at least
2 weeks prior to expected exposure to HAV.
VAQTA may be administered along with immune globulin (IG) at a
separate site with a separate syringe
for post-exposure prophylaxis_ [see Clinical Studies (14.5)]_.
1.2
LIMITATIONS OF USE
VAQTA will not prevent hepatitis caused by infectious agents other
than hepatitis A virus. Because of
the long incubation period (approximately 20 to 50 days) for hepatitis
A, it is possible for unrecognized
hepatitis A infection to be present at the time the vaccine is given.
The vaccine may not prevent hepatitis A
in such individuals.
Vaccination with VAQTA may not result in a protective response in all
susceptible vaccinees.
