“…Moreover, from this analyzed population, 344 patients (2.0%) were born after the mandatory HAV vaccine implementation in 2005, and 16,638 (98.0%) were born before. The median age (Q1-Q3) of the patients reached by the vaccine implementation was 6 years (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) and 163 (47.4%) were women. The age of those not reached by the vaccine was 38 years (28-53), with 9,151 (55%) being women.…”

“…HAV is a member of the Hepatovirus genus, belonging to the family Picornaviridae, and causes acute viral hepatitis. Based on the capsid nucleotide variability, three genotypes (I, II, and III) and six subgenotypes (IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, and IIIB) of HAV have been described [16]. The primary mechanism of transmission of HAV is the fecal-oral route and direct contact with an infected person [17].…”

“…The global distribution of hepatitis A is divided into nonendemic countries and endemic countries. Non-endemic regions are usually high-income countries with improved hygienic-sanitary conditions, whereas endemic regions typically correspond to low-income countries with poor water sanitation [16].…”
