Hepatitis A vaccination

What is Hepatitis A?

Hepatitis A is a viral liver infection. It can spread through contaminated food or water and close contact. Symptoms can include tiredness, nausea and yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Who should consider vaccination?

Discuss vaccination if your destination has a higher risk, particularly when sanitation is limited or you are visiting friends and relatives.

Your vaccination plan

A first dose is followed by a later dose for longer protection; timing depends on the product. Bring previous records so the pharmacist can check whether you need a new course or a booster.

At your appointment

• Bring your travel dates, destinations and previous vaccination records.
• Tell us about medicines, allergies, pregnancy, immune conditions and any previous vaccine reactions.
• We’ll explain suitability, possible side effects, the cost and any follow-up doses before you decide.

Your questions, answered

Can I book this vaccine directly?

Yes, you can request this service. The pharmacist will assess suitability and confirm availability before treatment. If you are unsure, select a travel-health consultation.

What if I have already had some doses?

Bring any records you have. The pharmacist will check your previous course and discuss what, if anything, is needed next.

Will I need another appointment?

That depends on the vaccine and your history. We’ll explain the schedule; one booking reserves one appointment, not an entire course.
