[Hepatitis A vaccination three days before departure to Eastern Europe?].
Vaccination against hepatitis A is indicated for travellers who visit areas with a high exposure to this type of virus. Beside tropical areas an active vaccination is indicated for the whole Mediterranean Area and Eastern Europe. This active vaccination is effective even short before departure due to the long incubation period of hepatitis A.
