Overview
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver. It can become chronic and lead to serious liver disease over many years. The vaccine is non-live and is given as a series of injections; completing the course gives excellent long-term protection. Risk is higher in some parts of Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe, and for anyone who might have medical or dental procedures, tattoos, or acupuncture abroad.
