Hepatitis A protection made simple

Hepatitis A is a virus that affects your liver. It spreads through food, water, and close contact in places where sanitation is limited. The risk is higher when travelling to parts of Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and Eastern Europe.

The vaccine is an inactivated injection. It cannot cause the disease. One dose gives short term protection. A second dose six to twelve months later helps provide long term protection for many years. We will guide your timing based on your travel plans.

You may feel a sore arm, a mild fever, or a headache. These effects are usually short lived. Serious reactions are rare. Tell us about allergies, medicines, and if you are pregnant or have a long term condition.

Book as early as you can. At least two weeks before travel is sensible. If you are leaving sooner, we can still help. We also cover Acton, Hanwell, Brentford, and the wider West London community with clear, practical advice.

Who should consider vaccination

Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for many travellers. It also helps people with specific risks.

  • Travel to areas where Hepatitis A is common
  • Longer trips or frequent travel to higher risk regions
  • Close contact with local communities during travel
  • People with chronic liver conditions or higher exposure risk
  • Children visiting friends and relatives abroad

Good food and water habits matter too. Wash hands often. Choose safe water. Eat freshly cooked food. Peel fruit yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

South Ealing Pharmacy

  • What is Hepatitis A and how do you catch it?

    It is a virus that inflames your liver. You catch it from contaminated food or water, or close contact with an infected person.

  • How many doses do I need?

    You usually need two doses. The second dose six to twelve months later helps provide long term protection.

  • How soon before travel should I book?

    Aim for at least two weeks before you go. If you are travelling sooner, a single dose still offers useful short term protection.

  • Is the vaccine safe for children?

    Yes, children over one year can be vaccinated. Your pharmacist will advise on the correct product and timing.

  • What side effects should I expect?

    A sore arm, mild fever, or headache can occur. These effects are usually mild and settle within a few days.

  • Can I have it if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

    Vaccination can be considered when the risk of infection is higher. We will discuss your travel plans and medical history.

  • Who should avoid the vaccine?

    People with a severe allergy to a previous dose should not have it. If you are unwell with a high fever, wait until you recover.
