Aussie:
The Hep A vaccine (Havrix) is an inactivated viral vaccine. In fact, all the ones here in the States are inactivated.
It should be quite safe to use in a breastfeeding mother.

Hep A vaccine for breastfeeding mum
Is having the Hep A vaccine (in Australia it is Avaxim or Havrix or Vaqta Adult formulation) while breastfeeding a 9 month old safe? Mum breastfeeds several times a day and travelling to Fiji in 2 weeks. Any information would be great!
