The hepatitis B vaccine helps your body build immunity against the hepatitis B virus (HBV), a virus that attacks the liver. An HBV infection can lead to long-term liver problems such as chronic hepatitis (ongoing liver inflammation), cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) and liver cancer.
Getting vaccinated is a widely used way to lower your risk of these serious liver conditions.
The hepatitis B vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce protective antibodies without
causing the disease.
It contains a small amount of purified HBV surface antigen, which triggers the body's defence mechanism to
recognise and respond quickly if exposed to the actual virus in the future. This helps prevent infection and
reduces the risk of transmission and complications.
Hepatitis B spreads when blood or bodily fluids from an infected person enter another person's body. Transmission can happen through:
Hepatitis B may cause a range of symptoms, including:
Hepatitis B may not present any symptoms in some cases, especially during the early stages. If you suspect exposure or experience symptoms, it is advisable to consult a doctor for testing and advice.
Under the National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS), adults aged 18 and above who have never been vaccinated, or lack evidence of past infection or immunity, are encouraged to complete the three-dose series.
The schedule for adults is:
Completing the full series is important for developing adequate and lasting immunity. In some cases, accelerated schedules may be used for specific travel or medical reasons, though these should be discussed with your doctor.
Side effects of the hepatitis B vaccine are generally mild and temporary. These may include:
Seek medical attention if any side effects last longer than a few days, get worse or concern you.
The hepatitis B vaccine usually protects you for decades, and possibly for life, after the full 3-dose course. Routine booster doses are not usually needed if you have a healthy immune system, although some high-risk groups may benefit from periodic testing or extra doses, depending on their risk of exposure.
