Helpful service information

What to know about Hepatitis B.

Clear guidance before you book — so you know what the vaccine is for, how the course works, and what to bring.

What is Hepatitis B vaccination for?

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that can affect the liver. Vaccination may be considered for travel, certain occupations, or other personal risk factors discussed in consultation.

How the course works

Protection is usually built with a course of doses over time. Starting early helps you complete the schedule before travel or other planned needs.

Your consultation

Bring travel or work details and any previous vaccine records. We will check suitability and explain the course clearly.

Good to know

A single dose is not usually enough for lasting protection. Completing the advised course is important.

Plan ahead

Hep B usually needs more than one visit.

Booking early gives time for the full course — whether you need it for travel, work, or other personal risk factors.

Common questions.

A few helpful answers before your appointment.

How many doses do I need?

Most people need a short course. Exact timing depends on the schedule used and your deadline for travel or work.

Can adults who missed childhood doses have it?

Yes, adults can be vaccinated when appropriate after a suitability check.

Is blood testing needed?

Not always. If antibody checking is relevant, the pharmacist will explain when that might help.
