Hepatitis A Vaccination Information The Los Angeles County
Department of Public Health expanded its hepatitis A virus
vaccine recommendations in 2017. Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for persons who are homeless and/or who use illicit drugs and to persons who have frequent close contact with the homeless or drug-using populations. This includes those who handle or serve food or who provide personal care, janitorial, maintenance, or sanitation services to these populations.
