Hepatitis A Vaccine – Everything You Need to Know
Why Hepatitis A Is a Risk for Travellers
Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver. It is commonly spread through contaminated food or water, particularly in regions with poor sanitation. While it's rarely life-threatening, Hepatitis A can cause weeks of illness and fatigue, potentially disrupting your entire trip.
At Gloucester Clinic, we offer fast, effective Hepatitis A vaccination to protect you before you travel. It’s one of the most important vaccines for travellers heading to high-risk destinations.
How the Hepatitis A Vaccine Works
The Hepatitis A vaccine is given as a single initial injection, which offers protection for up to one year. A booster dose after 6 to 12 months extends protection for at least 25 years.
The vaccine is suitable for adults and children over the age of one. It can also be combined with Typhoid in a single injection if both are required.
Who Should Get the Hepatitis A Vaccine?
The Hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for almost all travellers going to:
Countries in Asia, Africa, Central or South America, and Eastern Europe
Rural areas or regions with poor sanitation
Areas where food and water hygiene cannot be guaranteed
Travellers at higher risk include:
Backpackers and long-stay travellers
Those visiting friends and family abroad
Young children and elderly travellers
Individuals with liver disease or compromised immune systems

Hepatitis A risk is widespread across multiple continents. Countries where the vaccine is commonly advised include:
India

"Tufael supported me throughout my entire journey, giving me the confidence not just to take the leap but to feel reassured during every call and check-in. We reviewed everything—my weight, dress sizes, how I was feeling, any side effects, and my general well-being—so I always felt in safe hands. This is why I trust a real clinic over online distributors."
