Hepatitis A is a water borne disease and everyone travelling to developing nations will be at risk
Hepatitis A vaccination is safe and highly effective with two doses conferring lifelong immunity
Hepatitis B is a blood borne disease. Travellers put themselves at high risk because they choose to have tattoos, body piercing, dental or surgical procedures in higher risk countries
Travellers might be exposed to blood and blood products as a result of illness or injury. If short on time, the rapid course program is helpful but do not forget the fourth jab in a year and one dose confers little protection
