I’d be surprised if it was a live vaccine, due to a medical condition I usually don’t get them. And Wikipedia to the rescue https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatitis_A_vaccine, it’s inactivated virus cultures.

Same page says one of the ones still in use is in fact attenuated live virus. I'm not remotely surprised it's not commonly in use in the west, though.
