Statistical modeling alongside observational data predicts long-term immunogenicity of one dose and two doses of pediatric hepatitis A vaccine in the Mendoza province of Argentina.

CONCLUSIONS: Long-term persistence of anti-HAV antibodies was observed up to 10 years with 1-dose and 2-dose vaccine schedules, supporting booster flexibility. Statistical modeling predicted good persistence of seroprotection for each schedule up to 30 years. Natural boosting had a limited impact on seroprotection rate predictions, enabling extrapolation of these results to non-endemic settings for traveler vaccination.
