HEPATITIS VACCINATIONS
HEPATITIS A VACCINATION
Hepatitis A is a vaccine-preventable liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). It is often a serious viral infection that causes the liver to become enlarged, inflamed and tender.
Hep- A: It spreads when someone unknowingly ingests the virus through close personal contact with an infected person or through eating contaminated food or drink.
HEPATITIS A VACCINATION consists of two doses which are given six months apart.
HEPATITIS B VACCINATION
The Hepatitis B is another type of serious liver disease caused by Hepatitis B virus. It is often spread through contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person.
For many people, hepatitis B is a short-term illness. For others, it can become a long-term, chronic infection that can lead to serious, even life-threatening health issues like cirrhosis or liver.
HEPATITIS B VACCINATION is given in three doses over a period of six months. In some cases, additional doses may be required to build up adequate immunity.
Pre-vaccination Hepatitis B screening is compulsory. If you had a prior Hepatitis B screening, do bring along your blood test results.
However, if your screening was done more than six months ago, another test will have to be done before vaccination can be given.
