At Asclepius Healthcare Clinic (AHC), we offer the Hepatitis A Vaccination, a crucial preventive service that protects individuals from Hepatitis A, a highly contagious viral infection that affects the liver. Hepatitis A can cause severe illness, including jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, and in some cases, long-term liver damage. This vaccine is essential for those traveling to high-risk areas, individuals with certain medical conditions, and anyone seeking to protect their liver health.
The Hepatitis A vaccine is highly effective at preventing infection from the Hepatitis A virus, which is commonly spread through contaminated food and water or close contact with an infected person. Vaccination significantly reduces the risk of contracting this potentially serious disease.
The Hepatitis A vaccine has been proven to be both safe and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. It is typically given in two doses, providing long-term immunity from the virus.
If you are planning to travel to regions with higher risks of Hepatitis A, such as parts of Asia, Africa, and Central and South America, the vaccine is strongly recommended. Some countries even require proof of vaccination for entry or travel in certain areas.
Hepatitis A can lead to severe liver disease, including acute liver failure in some cases. By getting vaccinated, you reduce the risk of liver damage and maintain your long-term health.
Individuals at higher risk, including people with chronic liver disease, healthcare workers, and food handlers, should also receive the Hepatitis A vaccine to reduce the chances of transmission and illness
