Occasional outbreaks result from person-to-person transmission following initial importations² or contaminated food.3, 4 Since hepatitis A incidence in the UK is low, hepatitis A immunisation is only recommended for people at high risk of exposure (including travellers to endemic countries, people who inject drugs, and men who have sex with men) and for those at increased risk of complications, such as people with chronic liver disease,⁵ in whom infection might lead to acute fulminant hepatitis and potentially death.⁶
