At Asclepius Healthcare Clinic (AHC), we offer the Hepatitis B Vaccination, an essential preventive service designed to protect individuals from Hepatitis B, a serious viral infection that affects the liver. Hepatitis B can cause acute illness and, over time, lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and even death. This vaccine is highly recommended for everyone, especially for those at higher risk, such as healthcare workers, travelers, and individuals with certain medical conditions.

Prevents Hepatitis B Infection:
The Hepatitis B vaccine is highly effective at preventing infection by the Hepatitis B virus, which is primarily spread through contact with infected blood or body fluids. The vaccine is a safe and reliable way to reduce the risk of developing the disease.

Protects Against Liver Damage:
Hepatitis B can cause chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Vaccination significantly reduces the chances of developing these life-threatening complications, promoting long-term liver health.

Safe & Effective:
The Hepatitis B vaccine is safe, well-tolerated, and provides long-lasting immunity. The vaccination is typically administered as a series of three doses over a six-month period, with full protection achieved after completing the series.
-
Recommended for High-Risk Groups:
The Hepatitis B vaccine is particularly important for individuals who are at higher risk, such as healthcare workers, individuals with multiple sexual partners, people who inject drugs, individuals with chronic liver disease, and those who are in close contact with people who are infected with Hepatitis B.
-
Ideal for Travelers:
If you are planning to travel to areas with a higher prevalence of Hepatitis B, such as parts of Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe, the vaccine is highly recommended for protection against the virus.
