Hepatitis A vaccine in Basingstoke

Vaccines
Paediatric Vaccines
One dose now, a booster later
A single dose before departure covers your trip. Have the second dose six to twelve months afterwards and you are protected for many years, often 25 or more, so future trips are covered too.
Hepatitis A vaccine is still worth having close to departure, so a last-minute trip is not a reason to skip it.
Combined hepatitis A and B
If you need protection against hepatitis B as well, a combined vaccine covers both. Adult and children’s versions are listed in the prices below. See our hepatitis B guide for who needs it.
Where it is advised
Hepatitis A vaccine is commonly advised for Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Central and South America. Whether you need it depends on your itinerary, activities and health, and we confirm that at your consultation using the latest NaTHNaC guidance.
