Vaqta – Hepatitis A Vaccine

Vaqta is a trusted Hepatitis A vaccine available in both adult and paediatric formulations, making it a versatile option for travellers of all ages. It provides reliable protection against the Hepatitis A virus, which is often contracted through contaminated food and water in areas with poor sanitation. For UK travellers visiting Asia, Africa, South America, or Eastern Europe, Vaqta is a recommended choice. Recognised for its strong immune response, it has been widely used across the UK by NHS travel clinics, private practices, and authorised pharmacies. Vaqta has a proven record of safety and effectiveness, ensuring individuals and families can protect themselves before travelling abroad.

Usage

Vaqta is administered as an intramuscular injection, usually into the upper arm. The first dose provides effective protection for approximately one year, which is sufficient for short-term travel. A booster dose, ideally given 6–18 months after the primary injection, extends protection for at least 20 years and in many cases provides lifelong immunity. Both adults and children can benefit from this vaccine, making it especially suitable for families travelling together. Vaqta is recommended for frequent travellers, individuals planning long-term stays overseas, and those with higher exposure risks in regions where Hepatitis A remains widespread.

Warnings

Like all vaccines, Vaqta may not be suitable for everyone. It should not be given to individuals with known allergies to any component of the vaccine or to those who have previously had severe reactions to Hepatitis A vaccines. People with liver conditions, weakened immune systems, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical advice before vaccination. Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, headache, tiredness, or mild fever. These usually resolve within a few days. Severe allergic reactions are very rare but require immediate medical attention. Always follow guidance from your GP or travel health professional.
