Brief Answer:
This is injection please
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Hepatitis A vaccine is available only as injection form and it is available as killed vaccine and live vaccine.
The only difference between the two is that killed vaccine is given as intramuscular route and the live vaccine is given as subcutaneous injection.
