Many requests are made to our clinic regarding hepatitis B vaccination, and we would like to inform you about this because hepatitis B vaccination is required for travel to some foreign countries, as well as for admission to workplaces.
Hepatitis B is a virus that causes an inflammatory process in the liver and can cause liver cirrhosis and cancer if left untreated for a long time.
It should be noted that hepatitis B virus is highly contagious, it can be transmitted through blood, mucous secretions and saliva.
Another nuance is that people carrying hepatitis B virus can get hepatitis D, and currently hepatitis D is an almost incurable and severe disease. So, a vaccine protects you from 2 dangerous viruses, and for the rest of your life.

Immune suppression may weaken the effect of the vaccine.
The vaccine is given in 3 doses, on the 0th, 1st, and 6th months. Sometimes, on the eve of marriage, during travel to some countries, a quick vaccination can be done, i.e. within 1 month. In people in the high risk group, the level of anti-HBs in the blood is determined after the third dose. High If anti-HBs is formed, there is no need for a second dose. And when the body encounters the virus, it is destroyed by the memory cells of the immune system. Hepatitis B vaccine is not a live vaccine, but a vaccine prepared against a part of the microbe. Therefore, it does not cause any side effects.
