Protect Yourself Against Blood-Borne Infection Before You Travel
Planning international travel, medical work, or long-term stays abroad? The Hepatitis B vaccine at Hemel Hempstead Travel Clinic offers essential protection against a serious liver infection that can be contracted through contaminated blood or bodily fluids.
Whether you’re heading to Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, or the Middle East, we provide professional, reliable vaccination services and personalised travel health advice—right here in Hemel Hempstead.
Why Do You Need the Hepatitis B Vaccine?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver. It spreads through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids—via medical procedures, unprotected sex, shared needles, or even contaminated equipment in places like tattoo parlours or barbers.
The virus can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. It’s highly contagious—but completely preventable with vaccination.
You should consider the Hepatitis B vaccine if you are:
✓ Travelling for extended periods to high-risk areas
✓ Working in healthcare, dentistry, or medical settings
✓ Volunteering or providing first aid
✓ Undergoing medical or dental procedures abroad
✓ At risk through sexual contact or lifestyle exposure
