Estimates for long-term protection for fully vaccinated people (i.e., full two-dose series) suggest that protection from HAV infection could last for at least 25 years in adults and at least 14-20 years in children. Experts continue to study the long-term effectiveness of this vaccine to determine whether a booster dose will be needed.

What is the truth about hepatitis A and B?

Hepatitis A and B are both viral infections that affect the liver but differ in transmission and prevention. Hepatitis A is primarily spread through contaminated food and water, and vaccination is effective in preventing it. In contrast, Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood, sexual contact, and from mother to child at birth; it can lead to chronic liver disease and is also preventable through vaccination. Both types can cause symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, and abdominal pain, but Hepatitis B poses a greater long-term health risk.


How long does the Hep B vaccination last My 12 year old son had this at birth and his school is now offering this vaccination for the grade 7s. Should he be vaccinated a 2nd time?

The hepatitis vaccine consists of more than one dose. If your child did not receive the second and third in the series of vaccinations, it may be wise to revaccinate. There is no risk in revaccination. If you have your child's vaccination records, I recommend consulting a physician or the school nurse for further advice. Hepatitis B vaccinations are generally thought to last 20 years or more, when delivered correctly.

Can vaccination cure hepatitis b virus?

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (ww w.ultimatelifeclinic. com) in March, 2020. Their treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
