Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for which group?

Explanation:
Hepatitis A vaccination targets people with higher fecal-oral exposure risk. The groups listed—men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, and international travelers—face real exposure risk through sexual contact networks, shared equipment or practices, and travel to areas with higher HAV prevalence. Vaccinating these groups reduces their chance of infection and helps prevent outbreaks in the community. The other options are too narrow or not universally recommended; vaccination isn’t limited to only children or only elderly, and it isn’t universally required for all healthcare workers.
