Abstract
Since the use of the hepatitis A (HAV) vaccine in 1996, this infection had been rapidly decreasing. However, in 2016, recent outbreaks of hepatitis A have been reported globally. The provider needs to be aware of those issues leading to these outbreaks and the changes in immunization procedures and dosing.
