Vaccination against Hepatitis B for travellers and at-risk groups.
15 to 20 minutes per dose
From £45 per dose (standard three-dose course)
Travellers to endemic regions; healthcare workers; people at risk through occupation or lifestyle; and those with clinical risk factors.
Hepatitis B is a potentially serious viral infection affecting the liver, spread through blood, sexual contact, and from mother to baby. While many adults recover fully from acute Hepatitis B, a proportion develop chronic infection, which can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer over time. Vaccination provides effective protection and is strongly recommended for travellers to high-risk regions, healthcare workers, and those with specific lifestyle or occupational risk factors. The standard course consists of three doses, though accelerated schedules are available for those with limited time before travel. NHS-funded Hepatitis B vaccination is available for certain groups. Our team can advise on your eligibility.
A consultation to discuss your risk factors and confirm the most appropriate vaccination schedule.

Advice on the timing of doses and the importance of completing the course for full protection.
Post-vaccination blood testing may be recommended for certain groups. Our team will advise.

Hepatitis B is significantly more infectious than HIV and can survive outside the body for up to seven days on surfaces. In regions where Hepatitis B is endemic, including parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia, and South East Asia, the risk of exposure through routine activities such as receiving medical or dental treatment may be higher than in the UK. Chronic Hepatitis B infection may cause no symptoms for many years while silently damaging the liver. Regular monitoring and, where appropriate, antiviral treatment can slow or prevent disease progression. If you are concerned about Hepatitis B exposure, please speak to your GP without delay. Vaccination after exposure may be beneficial in some circumstances if given promptly.
The standard schedule is three doses at 0, 1, and 6 months. An accelerated schedule of three doses over three weeks plus a booster at one year is available for those travelling at short notice.
NHS-funded vaccination is available for specific at-risk groups, including some healthcare workers, those with chronic liver disease, and people with certain risk factors. Please check with our team for your specific situation.
Hepatitis B is spread through blood-to-blood contact, sexual contact, and from an infected mother to her baby. It is not spread through casual contact such as hugging or sharing crockery.
Common side effects include a sore arm and mild fatigue. Serious reactions are rare.
No. A full course of three doses is required for reliable long-term protection. Partial courses provide reduced immunity.
