The IgG antibodies of the Hepatitis A virus are present in the body of a person for a long time, which confirms that that person had contact with the Hepatitis A virus and is therefore immunized, because the antibodies are present.

This medical test can be requested by a physician after a vaccination against Hepatitis A (the HavrixMD vaccine).
