The Hepatitis B Vaccine
A three-dose course giving lifetime protection for most healthy adults
A Complete Course Is Essential
Hepatitis B is a viral liver infection spread through blood, sexual contact and other bodily fluids, which can become chronic and lead to serious liver disease. The standard course is three doses at 0, 1 and 6 months, though an accelerated schedule (0, 1, 2 months plus a 12-month booster) is available if you’re travelling sooner. Completing all three doses matters — one or two doses alone don’t give full protection.
Three doses give lifetime protection for most healthy adults — an accelerated schedule is available if time is tight.
Same-day first doses are available, but starting early gives more time to complete the course before you travel.
We can book the age-appropriate vaccine for both adults and children — choose the option that suits you below.

Common Questions
How many doses does my child need?
The same three-dose schedule as adults. Choose the “Child” option when you book to get the age-appropriate appointment.
Can I have an accelerated course if I’m travelling soon?
Yes — an accelerated schedule (0, 1, 2 months plus a 12-month booster) is available, and in some cases an even faster 3-week schedule may be possible. Contact us to discuss your travel dates.
What if I only have one or two doses before I travel?
Partial courses don’t give full protection, so it’s best to complete all doses. If you’re short on time before travel, ask us about the accelerated schedule.
Will I need a booster later on?
Most healthy adults who complete the full 3-dose course don’t need a booster — protection is generally considered lifelong.
Are there any side effects?
Most people just get some soreness, redness or swelling at the injection site, and occasionally a mild headache, tiredness or fever.
