摘要：

We examined the hepatitis A virus status of all MSM seen at a large sexual health clinic in inner Sydney between 1996 and 2012. Overall, the proportion of MSM susceptible to hepatitis A decreased from 68.1% in 1996 to 36.2% in 2012; most of this reduction was attributable to vaccination. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
