Hepatitis B vaccination

Hepatitis B vaccination helps protect your liver from the hepatitis B virus, which can cause serious health problems like liver damage or cancer. The vaccine contains a safe, purified piece of the virus that triggers your immune system to recognize and fight the real virus if you're exposed later. Usually given as a series of three shots over several months, the vaccination provides long-lasting immunity, reducing the risk of infection and transmission. It is recommended for all infants, unvaccinated adults at risk, and healthcare workers to prevent hepatitis B-related health issues.
