• 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
