At Neem Tree Pharmacy in Abbeywood, we offer convenient and professional Hepatitis A vaccinations to keep you and your loved ones safe. Whether you're preparing for travel or simply ensuring your health, book your appointment today.

What Is Hepatitis A?

Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver, leading to symptoms such as:

• Fatigue
• Jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes)
  Stomach pain
• Nausea

Unlike Hepatitis B or C, it does not cause chronic liver disease, but can still result in severe illness.
 

Why Is the Hepatitis A Vaccine Important?

The vaccine is the most effective way to prevent infection, especially for:

• Travellers visiting regions with poor sanitation
• Healthcare workers exposed to infections
• People with chronic liver conditions
• Anyone seeking long-term immunity

Who Should Get the Hepatitis A Vaccine?

1. Travellers

If you're visiting high-risk areas (such as parts of Africa, Asia, or South America), vaccination is strongly recommended.

2. At-Risk Groups

This includes:

• People with existing liver conditions
• Men who have sex with men (MSM)
• Individuals in close contact with an infected person

3. General Protection

Even if not travelling, vaccination provides lifelong immunity.
