What is the combined Hepatitis A & B vaccine?
The combined Hepatitis A & B vaccine protects against two serious liver infections: Hepatitis A, typically contracted through contaminated food or water, and Hepatitis B, transmitted via blood and bodily fluids. This dual vaccine offers comprehensive protection, especially beneficial for travelers and healthcare workers.
Who should consider getting this vaccine?
Individuals traveling to areas with high rates of Hepatitis A or B, healthcare professionals, people with multiple sexual partners, and those who use injectable drugs should consider vaccination. It's also recommended for anyone seeking long-term protection against both viruses.
What is the vaccination schedule?
The vaccine is administered in three doses:
First dose: At the chosen date.
Second dose: One month after the first.
Third dose: Six months after the first.
This schedule ensures optimal immunity against both Hepatitis A and B.
How much does the vaccine cost?
At Icon Travel Clinic, each dose is priced at £89. The complete series totals £267.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, headache, or fatigue. Serious side effects are rare. Always consult with a healthcare provider if you have concerns.
How long does the protection last?
After completing the full vaccination series, protection against Hepatitis A and B is long-lasting. While Hepatitis A immunity can last at least 20 years, Hepatitis B protection is also long-term, though some individuals may require booster shots based on medical advice.
Can I receive the vaccine if I've already had one of the infections?
Yes. If you've had either Hepatitis A or B, the combined vaccine can still provide protection against the other virus. It's essential to discuss your medical history with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.
How can I book an appointment?
You can schedule a call with a clinician or book an appointment directly through the Icon Travel Clinic website.
