Protect Yourself with the Hepatitis A Vaccine – Available at Manchester Chemist

What is Hepatitis A?

Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver and is primarily spread through contaminated food, water, or close contact with an infected person. Although not usually life-threatening, the infection can cause severe symptoms, including fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, jaundice, and loss of appetite.

The good news is that Hepatitis A is preventable with a vaccine, which is recommended for those travelling to high-risk areas, as well as individuals who may be exposed to the virus in their daily life.

Why Get the Hepatitis A Vaccine?

Getting vaccinated against Hepatitis A provides long-term protection against the virus and is a simple step towards safeguarding your health. The benefits of the Hepatitis A vaccine include:

✅ Long-lasting immunity – One dose provides immediate protection, and a booster extends immunity for up to 25 years.
✅ Travel safety – Essential for individuals travelling to regions where Hepatitis A is common, including parts of Africa, Asia, and South America.
✅ Prevention of outbreaks – Protect yourself and prevent the spread of the virus to your loved ones.
✅ Safe and effective – The Hepatitis A vaccine has been extensively tested and is widely recommended by health authorities.

Who Should Get the Hepatitis A Vaccine?

The Hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for:

• Travellers visiting countries where Hepatitis A is widespread
