All babies born in the UK since August 2017 are recommended to have a Hep B vaccine within their first few months, and most people only need this dose to keep them safe for life. However, if you didn’t receive these vaccines as a child, you’ll need a Hepatitis B vaccine to travel to certain places, or if you’re at high-risk of infection.

This infection is spread through blood, semen and vaginal fluids and can last several months or more. Symptoms include:- Fever- Tiredness- Abdominal pain- Nausea- Vomiting- Hives- JaundiceIf left untreated, it can cause serious problems with your liver and lead to things like cirrhosis. Most people recover fairly well without lasting damage, but with vaccines available, we believe it’s better to prevent an illness than to live with feeling unwell for a prolonged amount of time.

If you’ve completed a full course of Hepatitis B vaccines, you should be protected for life. However, if you’ve already been exposed to the disease, it’s recommended to get a booster 5 years after completing the initial full course. These are usually only recommended for healthcare workers or those who are at high risk of contracting Hepatitis B such as those with a liver condition.

When you get your Hep B vaccine depends on whether or not you’ve already had any injections for it or not.Ideally, the course of injections should be administered over 6 months, so get in touch with us as soon as you book your trip to schedule each dose. However, if this isn’t possible, we may be able to vaccinate you up to 2 weeks before your flight. Please contact us for advice and information on booking an appointment with our travel clinic.
