How it works

A 15-minute consultation with a GPhC-registered pharmacist. Supplied under a Patient Group Direction — the same medicine a GP would prescribe.

01
Why you need it

Occupational, travel or personal risk — it shapes which schedule we use and whether a blood test afterwards is worthwhile.

02
First dose

In the upper arm, in our consultation room.

03
Finish the course

Standard: 0, 1 and 6 months. Accelerated: 0, 1 and 2 months with a booster at 12 — for people who need cover fast.

Frequently asked

How long does it protect for?

A completed course generally gives long-term protection; most people don’t need boosters. Some employers request a blood test to confirm response.

Can I get hepatitis A and B together?

Yes — the combined vaccine (Twinrix) is available through our travel and occupational clinic.

I need it quickly for a new job.

The accelerated schedule gives three doses in two months. Book the first dose and we’ll line the others up.
