Summary:Objectives To measure anti-HAV antibodies 15 years after a single dose of live attenuated hepatitis A vaccine in Indian children. Methods Of the 143 children vaccinated in 2004, 109 were evaluated in 2019, clinically and for anti-HAV antibodies. These children have been assessed clinically every year, and for anti-HAV antibodies in 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2014. Results Of the 109 children who came for the present assessment, 11 had received additional doses of hepatitis A vaccine in 2004/2007 because of low anti-HAV titre (
