We assessed hepatitis A (HepA) vaccine receipt among susceptible individuals in outbreak and matched nonoutbreak states. Difference-in-differences models and multivariable logistic regression were used to compare HepA vaccination rates in these states. In the postoutbreak year, there was a 112% increase in HepA vaccinations in outbreak states versus a 6% decrease in nonoutbreak states. Differences persisted in our multivariable model (adjusted odds ratio = 2.53; 95% confidence interval = 2.45, 2.61). HepA vaccination rates increased dramatically in outbreak states, but many individuals susceptible to hepatitis A virus remain unvaccinated.
