Increasing numbers of individuals are traveling to areas of high hepatitis A endemicity and require immunization against the hepatitis A virus (HAV). The option of using a virosomal, aluminum-free, HAV vaccine (Epaxal) for booster immunization following primary vaccination with an aluminum-adsorbed vaccine has been assessed.
