Travel to Mexico and Hepatitis A vaccination for my daughter?

32-year-old womana year ago

I am going to Mexico (in 1 month) with my 7 month old daughter who has not received the hepatitis A immunization. Is it worth it to start the vaccination one month before the departure or not?

Hello, ma'am,

the CDC recommends one dose of vaccine for a child this age. This dose does not count toward the regular schedule doses.
