Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can lead to both acute and chronic diseases. The virus is transmitted through contact with an infected person’s blood or other bodily fluids. Hepatitis B can lead to severe liver complications, including cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Early detection and prevention through vaccination are crucial as this protects the person who has been immunised as well as controlling the spread of this disease.
The Hepatitis B Vaccine is a recombinant vaccine, meaning it’s made from a small piece of the virus’s genetic material. The vaccine works by stimulating your immune system to produce antibodies that fight the virus, offering you long-term immunity.
Hepatitis B is a global health concern but is a higher risk in certain regions. These high-risk zones include portions of Eastern Europe, Africa, the Americas, Southeast Asia, Russia, India, China, and some islands in the South Pacific. If you’re considering a trip to any of these locations, book an appointment at the travel clinic at Click2Pharmacy for personalised vaccination advice.
The Hepatitis B vaccine can be given from birth so anyone of any age can have the vaccine.
If you are planning on an extended or permanent stay, the Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended if you are at risk of needing hospital treatment whilst you are abroad, e.g. complications from chronic illnesses.
Those who work in services that put them at risk of contact with blood or body fluids are more likely to contract Hepatitis B. These include:
If your job puts you at risk of infection, it’s your employer’s responsibility to arrange the Hepatitis B vaccination for you rather than your GP. Contact your occupational health department to find out if you need the vaccine.
The Hepatitis B vaccine is very safe.
Side effects are very rare and may only present as some redness and soreness where the injection was given.
As it is an inactivated vaccine, it cannot cause the person who has been immunised to have the infection itself.
The Hepatitis B vaccine is made up of three doses administered by injection in the upper arm.
The first dose should be taken at least one month before travel. The second injection is then given a few weeks later, and the third injection at least two weeks after that.
Booster jabs are not needed until five months after the third dose, or it is recommended if you have been exposed to the virus.
