Hepatitis B vaccine is a vaccine that protects against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Hepatitis B is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus, which is spread through contact with infected blood or body fluids.
If you plan to travel to countries where hepatitis B is common, it is recommended that you get vaccinated before you leave. This will help protect you from getting infected while you are abroad.
The vaccine is highly effective in preventing hepatitis B infection, which can cause serious liver damage, liver cancer, and even death in some cases.
If you work in healthcare or come into contact with blood or body fluids, you are at increased risk of exposure to hepatitis B. Getting vaccinated can help protect you from getting infected on the job.
Even if you are not at increased risk of exposure to hepatitis B, getting vaccinated can help protect your personal health and well-being.
It is important to note that the hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective, with few side effects. The most common side effect is soreness at the injection site. Serious side effects are rare. The vaccine provides long-lasting protection against hepatitis B, with immunity lasting at least 20 years, and likely lifelong.
