About the Hepatitis A Vaccine
Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver and spreads through contaminated food, water, or close contact with an infected person. The vaccine offers long-term protection, ensuring you stay healthy during and after your travels.
At Derbyshire Travel Clinic (Mickleover Pharmacy), we offer the Hepatitis A vaccine in a safe, professional environment, tailored to your travel plans. ๐
How Does the Hepatitis A Vaccine Work?
The Hepatitis A vaccine uses an inactivated form of the virus to stimulate your immune system to produce protective antibodies. Once vaccinated, your body will be prepared to fight the real virus if exposed.
Dosage Schedule: The vaccine is administered in two doses. The first dose offers strong protection, while the second dose (a booster given 6 to 12 months later) ensures long-term immunity, lasting up to 20 years.
Quick Protection: Immunity begins to develop within two weeks of the initial dose, making it an excellent choice even for last-minute travellers. ๐
Who Should Have the Hepatitis A Vaccine?
The Hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for anyone travelling to regions where Hepatitis A is prevalent. You may benefit from the vaccine if you:
Are travelling to areas with poor sanitation or a higher risk of Hepatitis A, such as parts of Africa, Asia, South America, or Eastern Europe.
Are a child over one year of age.
Handle food professionally.
Have a chronic liver condition, as Hepatitis A can cause more severe symptoms.
Work in healthcare or other high-risk environments.
If youโre unsure whether you need the vaccine, our healthcare professionals can provide personalised advice during your consultation. ๐จโโ๏ธ
