What is Hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver. It spreads through blood and bodily fluids, and in some cases, it can lead to long-term health issues like liver damage or liver cancer. The great news is that it’s preventable through Hepatitis B immunisation.
Who Should Get the Hepatitis B Vaccine?
You may need the Hep B vaccine if you:
- You are at risk of exposure to infected blood, semen, or other bodily fluids, which are the main routes of transmission for Hepatitis B.
- Have chronic liver disease.
- Are travelling to areas where Hepatitis B is common.
- Work in healthcare, dentistry, or emergency services.
- Live with or have close contact with someone who has Hepatitis B.
- Use needles or share personal items like razors.
- Have a medical condition requiring regular blood transfusions.
- Are involved in sexual practices that increase the risk of transmission.
Our pharmacists will help determine if the vaccine is suitable for you based on your health and lifestyle.
How the Hepatitis B Vaccine Works
The Hepatitis B vaccine is given in a course of three injections. You’ll usually have the first dose, then the second a month later, and the third at around six months. A full course gives long-term, possibly lifelong protection. For urgent travel, an accelerated schedule may be available. We’ll work with your timeline.
It’s a safe and effective way to protect your liver and health, especially when travelling.
