About Hepatitis B Vaccine

Hepatitis B is a serious viral infection that affects the liver. It spreads through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids, putting travellers at higher risk when visiting regions with high rates of infection. The vaccine provides long-term protection, safeguarding your health during and after your travels.

At Black Country Travel Clinic, we offer the Hepatitis B vaccine in a safe, professional environment, tailored to your travel plans.

How Does the Hepatitis B Vaccine Work?

The Hepatitis B vaccine stimulates your immune system by introducing a harmless part of the virus, prompting your body to produce protective antibodies. These antibodies provide immunity against the virus if you are exposed.

• Dosage Schedule: The standard schedule involves three doses, with the second dose given one month after the first, and the third dose given six months after the first. For last-minute travellers, an accelerated schedule is available, requiring four doses.

• Long-Term Immunity: After completing the course, the vaccine provides lifelong immunity for most people.

Who Should Have the Hepatitis B Vaccine?

The vaccine is highly recommended for travellers to regions where Hepatitis B is endemic, as well as for people with certain occupational or lifestyle risks.
