Is there any risk of Hepatitis A for my kids?

Jamie B asked:


My husband’s boss just adopted a baby boy from Africa. She’s been bringing him to the office often, and my husband has helped out by spending time holding and playing with him. Today she found out that he has hepatitis A, and my husband is concerned for our three kids. They’ve never even seen him, and all were vaccinated as babies, but of course they’ve been around their dad a bunch. Is there any cause for concern?
