Hepatitis A -- Australia
Some of the 10 locally-acquired cases are in MSM [men who have sex with men], but the investigation so far has not found any epidemiological links between them or the other non-MSM cases.
Information has been distributed to sexual health clinics and general practitioners to remind them of the recommendation for hepatitis A vaccine for MSM. The vaccine is free for MSM attending publically funded sexual health clinics.
