The Hepatitis B vaccine helps to prevent infection caused by the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV).
Hepatitis B can cause serious liver disease. It is spread by direct contact with blood or other body fluids from an infected disease, or from sharing items such as toothbrushes or razors with an infected person.
What are some symptoms of Hepatitis B?
Symptoms may include:
Jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes)
Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal pain
Joint pain
Hepatitis B may also be asymptomatic. Please consult your doctor if you experience any symptoms, or wish to understand more about Hepatitis B and it's vaccination.
Who should receive the Hepatitis B vaccine?
According to the Singapore National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS), all children should receive three doses at the recommended intervals. Infants should get their first dose at birth, and will usually be able to complete the series by 6 months of age.
According to the Singapore National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS), adults (18 years or older) who have not been previously vaccinated, or do not have evidence of past infection or immunity should receive three doses.
