Hepatitis A+B vaccination for adults

Hepatitis A+B Vaccination for Adults

Do you often eat meals in random places or drink beverages with ice cubes? Do you frequently use cosmetic treatments? Or perhaps you are planning trips abroad, especially to countries with low sanitary and epidemiological standards? In any of these situations, you may be at risk of contracting hepatitis.

Hepatitis A infection most commonly occurs after consuming virus-contaminated drinking water or food, especially raw products. Hepatitis B infection is usually transmitted through contact with infected blood and other bodily fluids, such as during medical procedures, including dental treatments, cosmetic or hairdressing procedures, or through sexual contact.

Don't underestimate this risk—get vaccinated against hepatitis A and B. It is one of the most effective methods of preventing hepatitis.

Why Should You Get Vaccinated?

• Protect yourself against viral hepatitis A and B.
• Minimize the risk of hospitalization due to infection. Over 40% of patients over the age of 40 infected with hepatitis A require hospitalization.
• Reduce the risk of severe, life-threatening liver damage (cirrhosis). Hepatitis B can cause cirrhosis and liver cancer.
• Gain protective immunity against hepatitis A and B within 2‒4 weeks after vaccination.
• A full vaccination cycle provides long-term protection.
• Receiving the combined vaccine is much more convenient than single-component vaccines, as the required number of injections is reduced from five to three.

What Does the Package Include?

The package includes a single dose of the combined vaccine, intended for individuals aged 16 and older, providing immunity against both types of hepatitis A and B, along with the vaccination procedure.

Full immunity is achieved after receiving three doses of the vaccine.

The effectiveness of the vaccine is very high, and protection after completing the full vaccination cycle usually lasts a lifetime.

Purchase Process

1. First, select the city and Medical Center where you would like to receive the vaccination.
   • NOTE: The product does not include qualification visits for vaccination. Patients who do not have them covered under their care plan must purchase the qualification visit separately.
2. After paying for the vaccination, schedule a qualification visit. This visit is mandatory before receiving the vaccine. The vaccination is administered immediately after the qualification visit.
3. You can schedule the visit at the reception of the Medicover Center or by calling the helpline at 500 900 550.

If the doctor does not qualify the patient for vaccination, the patient must schedule another qualification visit within the timeframe specified by the doctor. The additional qualification visit is subject to an extra fee unless it is included in the patient's current care package.

No special preparation is required before receiving the vaccination.

The standard primary vaccination schedule consists of three doses.
