If you are travelling to a destination where Hepatitis B exposure may be a concern, a travel health consultation can help determine whether vaccination is appropriate for your trip. At Edinburgh Vaccination Clinic, we provide personalised travel advice and offer the Hepatitis B vaccine for suitable travellers.
What is Hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver. It can cause an acute illness and, in some people, can lead to long-term infection. It remains an important global health issue, with higher prevalence in some parts of Africa, Asia, the Pacific, Eastern Europe, and parts of South America.
About the Hepatitis B vaccine
The Hepatitis B vaccine is given as a course of injections. In standard travel practice, the usual schedule is 3 doses over 6 months. For adults who need protection more quickly, accelerated schedules are available, including a rapid 3-week schedule.
