Hepatitis AVaccination
Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver. It spreads through contaminated food, water, or contact with an infected person. Unlike bacterial infections, it requires vaccination for prevention, not antibiotics. A quick hepatitis A vaccination ensures safety during trips, whether for short holidays or long stays abroad.
The first dose gives protection within 2–4 weeks. A booster, given 6–12 months later, provides long-term immunity (often lasting over 20 years). Get vaccinated at least 2 weeks before travel for optimal protection. However, even last-minute vaccination is still beneficial, as it provides partial protection almost immediately.
Get vaccinated at least 2 weeks before departure to allow time for your body to build immunity. Even if you're only taking a short trip, a hepatitis A vaccine could save you from weeks of illness. Prevention through vaccination is the safest option, as there is no cure for the virus itself.
