Frequently asked questions
How many doses do I need?
A full course is 3 doses. The standard schedule runs over 6 months, but accelerated schedules over 3 to 4 weeks are available if you are travelling soon, sometimes with a fourth dose at 12 months.
I am travelling soon. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. An accelerated course can be completed in as little as 3 weeks. Book promptly and we will plan the schedule around your departure.
How long does protection last?
After a completed course, most healthy adults have long-lasting protection and many do not need routine boosters. We will advise based on your risk.
Is there a combined hepatitis A and B vaccine?
Yes, a combined vaccine is available and can be a convenient option if you need protection against both. Ask at your assessment.
