Hepatitis A
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the persistence of Hepatitis A antibody \ 32 years post vaccination in healthy adults. The questions this study will answer are: 1) how long antibody persists and 2) The immune response to an additional dose of vaccine among those with no detectable antibody. Participants will be asked to provide a blood specimen. Those with no detectable antibody will be offered an additional dose of vaccine. The kinetics of antibody response in this population will be summarized.
