Hepatitis B vaccination
We provide Hepatitis B vaccination at our pharmacy.
The vaccine gives protection against the hepatitis B virus, which is a major cause of serious liver disease, including scarring of the liver (cirrhosis) and liver cancer.
The hepatitis B vaccine is very effective. About 9 in every 10 adults who have it develop protection against hepatitis B.
The vaccine can work less well in people who:
- are over 40
- are obese
- smoke
- are dependent on alcohol, particularly people with advanced liver disease
If you have a weakened immune system or you’re on kidney dialysis, the hepatitis B vaccine may not work as well as usual. You may need more frequent doses.
