About Hepatitis B & the Vaccine

What is Hepatitis B?

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that targets the liver and is spread through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. It's a global health concern with high prevalence in parts of Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. The virus can cause both acute and chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, liver failure, or liver cancer. While symptoms may be mild or absent at first, long-term carriers can unknowingly transmit the infection.

Travel-Focused Vaccine Information

The Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for travellers to regions with high or intermediate prevalence, especially those likely to have close contact with local communities or healthcare environments. The standard course is 3 injections over 6 months, but a rapid schedule (0, 7, and 21 days) is also available for last-minute travel. Full immunity typically develops after the second or third dose.
