The invention belongs to the field of biological products, in particular to a freeze-dried live attenuated hepatitis A vaccine protective agent not containing gelatin or human albumin and used for preventing hepatitis A, and a preparation method for the freeze-dried live attenuated hepatitis A vaccine protective agent. The protective agent comprises trehalose, dextran 40, L-cysteine, arginine, glutamic acid, glycine, magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, sorbierite, mannitol and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane. The protective agent with the formula is mixed with a hepatitis A vaccine stock solution to form a semi-finished product, the semi-finished product is packaged and freeze-dried, and virus infectious titers of the vaccine before and after freeze drying and the thermal stability after freeze drying are detected; after the formula is compared with the conventional production formula containing the gelatin, results show that the protective agent has good protective effect, the descent of the virus infectious titers of the vaccine in the freeze drying process is obviously decreased, and the endotoxin content in a finished product is obviously reduced (less than 0.25EU / ml); and after the freeze-dried vaccine with the formula is inoculated into a human body, results indicate that the vaccine has good immune effect and high safety.
