Hepatitis A is a viral infection of the liver that is very common worldwide, mainly in developing countries. The virus can survive for several months in the environment, and is transmitted mainly through contaminated food and water, but also from person to person. Vaccination is recommended for all travellers to countries where hepatitis A is present, regardless of travel conditions or length of stay. Vaccination prevents the disease in almost 100% of cases.
