Hello all, does my 6 year old daughter need another Hep A vaccination before we go to Aruba? She had one 3 years ago, and I called my doctor and he told me I need to call a Travel Clinic that they dont do that in his office.!! Pain in the Rear ! Just thought maybe someone on here would know if she needed it again

Thanks
