Summary:Simultaneous vaccination against hepatitis A and yellow fever has been studied in our unit: Santé-Voyage, Bordeaux. This randomised study included 108 healthy subjects: 36 received hepatitis A vaccine (Havrix, SKF), 36 received yellow fever vaccine and 36 received both. For hepatitis A vaccine protocol comprised one injection at day zero, one at D15, and one booster dose at 6 months. Those who received yellow fever vaccine had it at D0. Simultaneous vaccination is well tolerated and immunogenicity is as good as it is for each vaccine separately. This is particularly interesting for tropical travellers who are at risk for hepatitis A.
