The Hepatitis A+B combination vaccine (Twinrix) protects you against two separate liver infections in one injection course.
Hepatitis A spreads through contaminated food and water. It’s common in countries with poor sanitation. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, nausea, and jaundice. While most people recover, it can cause severe illness lasting several months.
Hepatitis B transmits through blood and bodily fluids. It’s a more serious infection that can become chronic, leading to liver damage, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. Healthcare workers, long-term travellers, and those with certain medical procedures abroad face higher risk.
The combined vaccine saves you time and injections compared to getting separate vaccines. Three doses over six months provide long-lasting protection against both viruses. It’s ideal if you’re travelling to high-risk regions in Africa, Asia, South America, or Eastern Europe.
At Slough Travel Clinic, our pharmacist assesses your travel plans, medical history, and risk factors to recommend the right vaccination schedule for your trip.
You can call or book online to schedule your travel health consultation. We recommend booking 6-8 weeks before departure to allow time for the standard 3-dose schedule. However accelerated courses are available for urgent travel needs.
Our pharmacists will assess your travel plans, review your medical history, and advise which vaccines you need. You'll receive your first Twinrix dose during this appointment and schedule your subsequent doses. We'll discuss whether the standard or accelerated schedule suits your departure date.
Return for your second and third doses according to your vaccination schedule. Protective immunity develops following completion of the recommended vaccination schedule. The degree and timing of protection may vary depending on the schedule used and individual immune response.
Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B are distinct viral infections. They attack the liver but spread through completely different routes. Understanding both diseases helps you appreciate why the combined vaccine provides such valuable protection.
High-risk regions: South Asia, Southeast Asia, Central & South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East, Eastern Europe, Caribbean.
High-prevalence areas: Sub-Saharan Africa (often >8%), East Asia, Southeast Asia, Pacific Islands, Amazon Basin.
The combined Hepatitis A+B vaccination delivers significant health benefits and practical advantages for anyone at risk of exposure to either virus.
Combined Hepatitis A & B vaccine requires 3 doses versus 6 for separate vaccines, reducing clinic visits.
Hepatitis A causes acute illness with severe symptoms; Hepatitis B leads to chronic infection, liver cirrhosis, and cancer, causing ~887,000 deaths annually.
Combined vaccines are cheaper than separate vaccines plus fewer consultation fees and less time off work.
Protects against both viruses in high-risk areas (poor sanitation, healthcare settings) simultaneously.
Reduces risk of unknowingly passing Hepatitis B to close contacts, important due to asymptomatic contagiousness.
Enables worry-free travel and enjoyment of local food and culture without fear of hepatitis infection.
Completion of the recommended vaccination schedule provides long-term protection against Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B. Booster doses are not routinely required but may be recommended for certain individuals.
The combined Hepatitis A+B vaccination is recommended for travellers and occupational risk groups. It’s for anyone at increased risk of exposure to either virus. Our travel health specialists will assess your individual circumstances and provide evidence-based recommendations.
Many Hepatitis A and B infections are mild or asymptomatic, particularly in children. But both can cause severe illness requiring medical attention. Understanding the symptoms helps you recognise when to seek help.
Hepatitis A symptoms appear 2–6 weeks after infection and last 2–8 weeks. Hepatitis B symptoms show 1–6 months after exposure, with 5–10% of adults developing chronic infection that can silently harm the liver.
Twinrix is generally very well tolerated, with most people experiencing few or no side effects. The combined vaccine has an established safety profile based on millions of doses administered worldwide.
Our pharmacists have extensive training in travel medicine. They stay current with WHO, Public Health England, and NaTHNaC guidance. We provide evidence-based recommendations tailored to your specific itinerary, not generic advice.
