Persistence of vaccine-induced antibody to hepatitis A virus.
A level of 10 mIU hepatitis A antibodies/ml as measured by ELISA is believed to be the minimal protective concentration. If this level is considered, the mean persistence of vaccine induced antibodies is approximately 10-11 years after booster dose, 6-7 years if only the primary doses are given and 5-6 years if the minimal individual titre is taken into account.
