Posted on Tue, 20 Aug 2013
Question: Hello Doctor,

Can you please help me with this query.

My daughter is just 14 month old now.
In the list of vaccinations to be given to children there is a vaccination mentioned - Hepatitis A which is optional i.e. non mandatory.

I need your advise whether or not this vaccination is required / advisable or not.

Thanks,
