Can hepatitis A vaccine be administered during pregnancy?

Yes. The ACIP recommends that pregnant people at risk for hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection during pregnancy or at risk for a severe outcome from HAV infection should be vaccinated during pregnancy if not previously vaccinated. Pregnant people should be vaccinated for the same indications as non-pregnant people. For additional information, see page 20 of the recommendations: www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/rr/pdfs/rr6905a1-H.pdf.
