How does Hepatitis A vaccination work?
You book online, choose a slot, and complete a short questionnaire so our pharmacist can check your suitability before you arrive.
At the clinic we review your travel plans, medical history, and any previous doses, then give the inactivated Hepatitis A injection in your upper arm. The first dose starts protection within two weeks.
We record the vaccine lot number in your personal record and arrange a booster six to twelve months later which extends cover for at least twenty five years.
Who needs Hepatitis A protection?
Hepatitis A spreads through contaminated food or water and close contact. You need the vaccine if you plan trips to regions with intermediate or high infection levels, work in health care, handle food, or live with someone at risk.
- Travellers to Asia, Africa, South America, and parts of Eastern Europe
- Children visiting family abroad
- Aid workers and armed forces
- Sewage and laboratory staff
Timing your dose before departure
Aim to receive the first injection at least fourteen days before you leave for optimum antibody response, yet we can still vaccinate on the day you fly if necessary. A second dose six to twelve months later locks in long term cover.

Booked on Monday, jabbed Tuesday. The pharmacist explained everything, printed my vaccine record, and even reminded me about water safety abroad. Felt reassured the whole time.
★★★★★
Needed urgent protection before a last‑minute Kenya trip. Walked in after work, out in ten minutes, arm barely sore. Brilliant service.
★★★★★
Took my teenage sons before visiting grandparents in Egypt. Staff were patient, used paediatric needles, and kept the boys calm.
Fulham sees many travellers each summer heading to destinations where Hepatitis A is common. The virus can survive on salad, ice, or tap water and can sideline you for weeks with jaundice and fatigue. Vaccine protection cuts that risk dramatically and is strongly recommended by the NHS for anyone visiting areas with poor sanitation or recent outbreaks.
Protection starts about fourteen days after the first dose. If you visit within that window, you still benefit, yet earlier is better. Try to book four to six weeks before departure so there is time for consultation, first dose, and any other travel vaccines you may need.
One dose protects for up to a year. A booster given six to twelve months later extends cover for at least twenty five years and possibly longer, according to UKHSA guidance.
Yes. Licensed paediatric formulations are offered from twelve months of age. Side effects are usually mild, such as a sore arm or low fever for a day or two.
The injection can be given at the same visit as typhoid, Hepatitis B, or yellow fever in separate arms. Your pharmacist will plan the schedule.
Natural infection usually gives lifelong immunity. Bring any past lab results. If evidence is unclear, a single vaccine dose is advised.
