What is the Hepatitis B Vaccine?
The Hepatitis B vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine that protects against the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), a serious liver infection that can become chronic and lead to liver cirrhosis, liver failure, or liver cancer.
The vaccine works by stimulating your immune system to produce antibodies against the virus. It is typically given as a series of three injections over a 6-month period, providing long-lasting protection.
Hepatitis B is spread through contact with infected blood or other body fluids, making vaccination essential for everyone, especially those at higher risk.
