What is the hepatitis B vaccine?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection of the liver. It spreads through blood, sexual contact, and from mother to baby at birth. Some people develop long-term (chronic) infection, which can lead to liver damage over time. The hepatitis B vaccine helps the body build protection against the virus.
Who should consider the hepatitis B vaccine?
- Adults who were never vaccinated or do not know their status
- People whose antibody test shows no protection
- People with a partner or household member who has hepatitis B
- Healthcare workers and people with other exposure risks
- People planning pregnancy (see pre-pregnancy checkup)
How does vaccination work at the clinic?
- Consultation in English: Dr. Eun reviews your vaccination history, health conditions, allergies and whether you are pregnant or planning pregnancy.
- Blood tests (recommended): A hepatitis B surface antigen test checks for current infection, and an antibody test checks for protection. See immunity blood tests.
- Schedule: The vaccine is usually given in three doses over about six months. The doctor explains your schedule and whether a repeat antibody test is useful afterward.
- Injection: The vaccine is given as an injection, usually in the upper arm.
- Observation: You wait about 15 minutes after the injection in case of a reaction.
- Record: Ask for your vaccination details so you can keep your own record for your next dose, school, work or travel.
What are the side effects?
Hepatitis B vaccine is generally well tolerated. Common side effects include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, tiredness and headache. Serious allergic reactions are rare. Tell the doctor about any past vaccine reactions or yeast allergy. If you are pregnant, tell the doctor, who can explain the benefits and risks.
If your test shows current hepatitis B infection, the vaccine will not help. The doctor explains the next steps and, if needed, refers you for specialist liver care.
