Get protected from hepatitis B before travelling
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver. It spreads through contact with blood and other body fluids. The risk is increased for travellers visiting regions with medium to high rates of hepatitis B infection.
Who Should Get Vaccinated?
The CDC recommends the hepatitis B vaccine for:
Travellers staying long-term in countries with high hepatitis B rates
Those getting medical or dental treatment abroad
People with multiple sexual partners or seeking new partners overseas
Anyone with occupational exposure, like healthcare workers
Adoption travellers and those having close contact with locals
The hepatitis B vaccine requires three shots over six months to provide full protection. Get vaccinated at our travel clinic before departure.
Other prevention tips
In addition to vaccination, you can avoid hepatitis B transmission by:
Practising safe sex with barrier protection
Avoiding tattoos and piercings with non-sterile equipment
Not sharing toothbrushes, razors, needles, or medical devices
Being cautious about receiving medical or dental procedures overseas
