Is the Hepatitis A vaccine available on Sundays in Sutton Coldfield?
Yes. The Vesey is open every day of the week including Sundays from 8am to 8pm — the only private clinic in Sutton Coldfield with 7-day access for vaccinations.
How many doses of the hepatitis A vaccine are needed?
A single dose provides protection for approximately 1–2 years. A booster given 6–12 months after the first dose extends protection to at least 20 years and is considered lifelong in most adults. For last-minute travellers, a single dose given before departure provides good short-term protection.
Is there a combined hepatitis A and B vaccine?
Yes. Twinrix combines hepatitis A and B vaccines in a single injection and is available at The Vesey. Three doses are given at 0, 1, and 6 months (or an accelerated schedule). It is ideal for travellers or healthcare workers who need protection against both viruses.
Does the hepatitis A vaccine replace food and water precautions?
No. Vaccination significantly reduces risk, but food and water hygiene precautions remain important — particularly avoiding raw shellfish, unpeeled fruit, and untreated water in endemic regions. Vaccination and hygiene together offer the best protection.
How long does hepatitis A vaccine protection last?
A single dose protects for 1–2 years. After the booster dose (given 6–12 months later), immunity is estimated to last at least 20–25 years and may be lifelong. Most adults who complete both doses will not need further boosters.
