I just got my first dose of Havrix 1ml IM Pfs (adult 19+) to protect against Hepatitis A. I'm curious about what side effects to expect and how long they will last. Also, does anyone know if it's better to take the second dose exactly 6 months later or if there's some flexibility in the timing? I've heard mixed things. I'd love to know if anyone has any personal experiences or tips to share! And finally, is the shot painful? They say it's just a small, thin needle, but I've had bad experiences with shots in the past. Thanks, everyone!
