Question:
My 17 year old duaghter and myself both have SLE. We are planning a family trip to Cuba in July of this year. Is it safe for us to have the hepatitis A shot before we go? She is not any medication, I am on 200 ml of Plaquenil a day for many years now.

Answer:
It is likely quite safe to get the Hep A shot when you have lupus. It is unlikely (rare) that you would flare with a vaccination such as Hepatitis A.
