A member asked:

What to do about hep a vaccination for 5 month old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not started until 1: I don't start that series until a kid reaches 1 year of age. Some might suggest it as early as 6 month if you were to travel in an endemic area, but I wouldn't use it before a year.
