Summary: They recommend Hep A vaccinations, but also suggest screening to see if one is already immune, if the cost of screening is less than the cost of the vaccination.

SLT's Hep A test is expected to be the lowest cost and quickest test available! So you can understand the interest in doing this deal.

"Hepatitis A is one of the most common vaccine-preventable diseases in travelers. Hepatitis A vaccine, immune globulin (IG), or both, are recommended for all susceptible persons traveling to or working in countries with an intermediate or high endemicity of HAV infection."

...

"...screening for total anti-HAV before travel can be useful in some circumstances to determine susceptibility and eliminate unnecessary vaccination or IG prophylaxis of immune travelers. Such serologic screening for susceptibility might be indicated for adult travelers who are likely to have had prior HAV infection if the cost of screening (laboratory and office visit) is less than the cost of vaccination or IG prophylaxis and if testing will not delay vaccination and interfere with timely receipt of vaccine or IG prior to travel."

"No specific treatment is available for persons with hepatitis A. Treatment is supportive."
