Service Providers for Hepavax (Adult) for PDCL Staff & Family Members
Hepavax (Adult) is a vaccine designed to protect against hepatitis B, a viral infection that affects the liver and can lead to chronic disease, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. It is recommended for adults at risk, including healthcare workers and their families, due to potential exposure to blood or body fluids. The vaccine is typically administered in a series of three shots over a six-month period. Common side effects are mild, including pain at the injection site, fatigue, or fever. Hepavax is crucial for PDCL staff and family members as they may be at higher risk of contracting hepatitis B due to occupational or close contact exposures.
