Hepatitis A is a viral infection which infects the liver and it is spread by eating or drinking contaminated food and water or person to person contact where there is poor personal hygiene. The World Health Organisation estimates that there are around 1.5 million new cases of Hepatitis A infection every year.
We can provide a vaccine to protect against hepatitis A at our one stop travel shop in Islington. Dermacia's pharmacists can administer a one dose Hepatitis A Vaccine injection to adults and children who are travelling to areas where this virus is prevalent such as Africa, Asia and Central and South America.
Ideally, travellers should to be vaccinated at least two weeks prior to the date of travel. in addition to this 1 dose vaccination, travellers can also get a booster shot to give cover long-term, ideally within a year of the first Hepatitis A vaccination.
