Abstract
This pilot randomized controlled trial assessed the immunogenicity of paediatric versus adult Hepatitis A vaccine doses in immunosuppressed adolescents (12-15 years) with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Crohn's Disease. The study aimed to assess if a single, higher dose provides better immunogenicity, particularly beneficial before travel.
