We have customers in various cities around the US doing routine Hep A, it is also considered *standard* in, I believe, 7 states. Many of our customers live in what is considered endemic areas mostly due to the sharing of food by hand in various religious groups. But I'm curious about why Havrix over the Merck VAQTA? Is it due to cost, availability, that is what the state will supply? Just curious why one company is picked over another.
