Do you need the hepatitis B vaccination?

If you're travelling abroad, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia, you need to look up the risk of hepatitis B. Vaccination against this virus is recommended for some travellers to high-risk countries.

If you require a vaccination, your pharmacist can provide this as a private service for both a consultation and the vaccination itself. The service is not routinely available on the NHS. Vaccination against hepatitis B involves three or four doses of the vaccine, ideally started at least three months before you travel. There is also a combined hepatitis A and B vaccine.

"Many people remain well even after developing chronic hepatitis B but some develop serious liver problems which is why getting travel vaccinations when headed to high-risk places is so important. Don’t let hepatitis B ruin your holiday!”
