Hepatitis A Vaccine in Toronto

palm treas

Hepatitis A is a virus infection of the liver that is spread by consuming contaminated food and water, eating raw or undercooked shellfish, or from person-to-person contact.

Following infection, symptoms begin an average of 28 days later. They include fever, loss of appetite, nausea abdominal pain, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).

Most people recover from the illness in 4-6 weeks, but in some it may take months. On average 1 % of healthy adult people will die from the illness.
