Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the persistence of hepatitis A antibodies, approximately 8 years and 10 years post vaccination with the complete series of Havrix (2 doses) and the partial series completion (1 dose).

Detailed description

The study comprises of two independent cross-sectional surveys (Year 8 and Year 10). The first cross-sectional serosurvey will evaluate the long term persistence of immunity approximately 8 years post vaccine administration and the second cross-sectional study will evaluate long term persistence, approximately 10 years post vaccine administration.

Interventions

OTHERBlood sample collection

A blood sample (\ 5mL) will be collected from all subjects at each cross-sectional survey (Year 8 and Year 10).

Recruitment details

The study was conducted at 4 centers in Panama. Out of the 1201 subjects originally enrolled in the study, 2 subjects were eliminated from the ATP cohort for persistence, due to non-eligibility. Hence, 1199 subjects were included in the ATP cohort for persistence.

Pre-assignment details

The design of the study included 2 epochs: Epoch 001 - Persistence at Year 8 and Epoch 002 - Persistence at Year 10.
