WHY VACCINATE
About the Hepatitis B Vaccine
Three doses now, lifetime cover for most healthy adults
Three Doses, Lifetime Protection
Why Finishing the Course Matters
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.

Yes — there's an accelerated schedule (0, 1, 2 months plus a 12-month top-up), and in some cases an even quicker 3-week version. Tell us your travel dates and we'll find the right fit.
