Frequently Asked Question
Do I need a Hepatitis A vaccine before travelling to Pakistan or India?
Yes. Hepatitis A is highly prevalent in South Asia, including Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. It is strongly recommended that all travellers to these countries receive the Hepatitis A vaccine, regardless of the purpose of their visit. This is particularly important for those visiting friends and relatives, as they are more likely to eat local food and drink, which increases the risk of exposure.
How long does the Hepatitis A vaccine last?
A single dose of the Hepatitis A vaccine provides protection for approximately 12 months. A booster dose administered 6 to 12 months after the initial injection extends protection for up to 25 years. At Massinghams Chemist in Bethnal Green, we can administer both the initial dose and the booster as part of a complete vaccination programme.
Can I get the Hepatitis A vaccine on the same day at your Bethnal Green pharmacy?
Yes. Massinghams Chemist on Roman Road, Bethnal Green, offers same-day Hepatitis A vaccinations for most patients. We recommend contacting us in advance to confirm stock availability and to allow our pharmacist to conduct a brief pre-vaccination consultation. Walk-in appointments are generally accommodated.
Is the Hepatitis A vaccine available free of charge on the NHS?
The Hepatitis A vaccine is not routinely available free on the NHS for travel purposes. It is offered on the NHS only to individuals with specific medical indications, such as chronic liver disease or occupational risk. Travel vaccinations are typically provided as a private service. Massinghams Chemist offers competitively priced Hepatitis A vaccination in Bethnal Green.
Are there any side effects of the Hepatitis A injection?
The Hepatitis A vaccine is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild and include soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site, along with mild headache, fatigue, or low-grade fever. These usually resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Serious allergic reactions are extremely rare. Our pharmacists at Massinghams Chemist will discuss any potential side effects with you prior to vaccination.
