Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a highly infectious virus that can cause flu-like symptoms, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), tummy pain, diarrhoea, feeling and being sick, and a loss of appetite. It is spread through blood and bodily fluids and treatment depends on how long you have had the virus for. The best way to protect against hepatitis B is to get a vaccination, and stay up-to-date with vaccines

If you're a health worker, and regularly vaccinate, take blood or come into contact with body fluids, it is recommended that you are immunised against hepatitis B. 

If suitable, we can prescribe a course of 3 vaccines that you'll receive over 6 months.
