What Is Hepatitis A?
Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver and can cause symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to severe illness lasting several weeks.
Common symptoms include:
- Fatigue
- Nausea and vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
- Fever and loss of appetite
While most people recover fully, the illness can be more serious in adults. The best prevention is vaccination, especially before travel.

- Travellers to parts of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Central and South America, and Eastern Europe
- People visiting friends or family abroad in high-risk regions
- Adventurous eaters or those staying in areas with poor sanitation
- Children and adults without previous immunity
- Healthcare or aid workers travelling to endemic areas

FAQs – Hepatitis A Vaccine
Is the hepatitis A vaccine safe?
Yes — it has an excellent safety profile. Side effects are usually mild, such as soreness at the injection site or tiredness.
How many doses do I need?
You’ll receive one initial dose, followed by a booster 6 to 12 months later for long-term protection (up to 25 years).
When should I get the vaccine before travel?
Ideally, 2–3 weeks before departure. However, even short-notice travellers can benefit from a single dose.
Can I combine this with other travel vaccines?

Do I need a certificate?
Some countries or organisations may request proof of vaccination. We can provide this upon request.
