Does it matter how long they are traveling?
Kap doesn't mention it.
UW:
< 4 weeks, give Ig
> 4 weeks, give Vaccine.
TRUE???

The reazon that Hep A is given as vaccine for who has plans in next 4 weeks to travel is because they need the second dosis at least in 4 weeks.
and if pt will go to travel soon (less than 2~4 wk) give just Ig.
Remember Hep A and B vaccines need 2 dosis.
