Protection against Hepatitis B, a viral infection transmitted through infected blood and body fluids.
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and is transmitted through infected blood or body fluids. It can lead to both short-term illness and long-term liver complications in some cases.
Hepatitis B spreads through infected blood or body fluids via sex, medical care, tattooing, piercing, or shared needles, and from mother to baby at birth.
Symptoms include fatigue, fever, nausea, abdominal pain, dark urine, and jaundice, though some people may show no symptoms while still infected.
Hepatitis B occurs worldwide, with higher risk in regions where healthcare safety standards and infection control practices may be limited or inconsistent.
Avoid exposure to infected blood and body fluids by using sterile equipment, avoiding unsafe procedures, and never sharing needles or injection tools.

Detailed information about Hepatitis B vaccination, risks, and travel protection.
The vaccine is recommended for travellers at higher risk, including those who may have unprotected sex, require medical or dental treatment abroad, stay long-term in higher-risk regions, or work in healthcare or high-exposure environments.
It is spread through infected blood and body fluids, including sexual contact, contaminated needles, medical procedures, or non-sterile tattooing and piercing equipment.
Hepatitis B can range from mild illness to chronic infection that may affect the liver long term. In some cases, it can lead to serious complications if not managed properly.
A full course consists of three injections, which may be given over a standard or accelerated schedule depending on how quickly protection is needed.
Most people do not require a routine booster after completing the full course unless they are at ongoing high risk of exposure.
Yes, accelerated vaccination schedules are available to provide protection in a shorter timeframe depending on travel urgency.
Book your Hepatitis B vaccination and ensure long-term protection before your trip.
