Coming soon
The hepatitis A vaccine is not available at Pulse Pharmacy yet
We are planning to offer it. Call us to register your interest and we will let you know as soon as it starts. Until then, our pharmacist is happy to give advice or tell you where to go.
What hepatitis A is
Hepatitis A is a liver infection spread through contaminated food and water.
Who needs the vaccine
Recommended for many countries where clean water and sanitation are not reliable. Check the advice for your destination on fitfortravel.
Before you go
Get advice 6 to 8 weeks before you travel if you can. Our pharmacist will tell you how many doses you need and when, once our travel clinic opens. Until then, your GP practice can give travel advice and some vaccines free on the NHS.
Frequently asked questions
Is the hepatitis A vaccine free?
Some travel vaccines are free on the NHS from your GP practice and others are private. Ask your GP practice or check fitfortravel.
How far ahead should I get it?
Ideally 6 to 8 weeks before you travel, as some vaccines need more than one dose or time to work.
