All three doses gets most healthy adults lifetime cover — ask about the accelerated option if you're short on time.
Blood-borne and largely preventable — our Wythenshawe pharmacy runs the three-dose Hepatitis B course for adults and children, giving most healthy adults lifetime protection.
Three doses now, lifetime cover for most healthy adults
Hepatitis B lives in blood, semen and other bodily fluids, and can quietly become a long-term infection that damages the liver over years. The standard schedule is three doses spread over 0, 1 and 6 months, but if you're travelling soon there's an accelerated version (0, 1, 2 months, plus a 12-month top-up). Stopping after one or two doses leaves you only partly covered, so seeing it through matters.
All three doses gets most healthy adults lifetime cover — ask about the accelerated option if you're short on time.
We can start you the same day, but booking early gives more room to finish before you fly.
Age-appropriate calendars for both — pick whichever fits below.
Present worldwide, but far more common in certain regions
Passed on through blood, sexual contact, and other bodily fluids.
In a minority, the infection lingers for years, raising the risk of cirrhosis, liver failure or cancer.
Rates run higher across sub-Saharan Africa, East and Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Finish the three-dose course and you get strong, long-lasting protection.
Beyond travel, this vaccine's often recommended for people facing medical or dental treatment abroad, healthcare and lab workers, and anyone whose personal circumstances put them at higher risk.
Not just travellers — anyone with an increased personal risk too
