Hepatitis vax: Hepatitis a vaccine protection is thought to last up to 10 years before a booster series is given. Hepatitis b vaccine is thought to confer protection up to 25 years, but possibly lifelong. If you don't wish to undergo another series of vaccinations, you can ask your primary care provider to ask for antibody titers in blood; this way, you'll know if you have immunity at present; safe travels!
