Hepatitis A: What you should know

Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver. It is usually spread through contaminated food or water, or through close contact with an infected person. The virus is more common in parts of the world with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water.

Most people recover fully from Hepatitis A, but the infection can cause unpleasant symptoms and may lead to more serious illness, particularly in older adults or those with underlying liver conditions.

Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent Hepatitis A and is commonly recommended for travellers and other at-risk groups.

Advised to use this local Pharmacy by the Nurse at my GP Practice, for vaccinations in preparation for a trip to Uzbekistan. I can't fault my experience. Best of all was the skill in issuing vaccine painlessly. I barely knew it had been done. The Pharmacist was informative and helpful ...

Both my husband and I visit Ryders Chemist for our vaccinations because, unlike our doctor, they do both Covid and flu vaccinations. They are so lovely and helpful, pleasant and courteous. I wish that the gentleman attending to us was our GP! We would highly recommend anyone to go there ...

Simply excellent service. Great service on vaccinations at the start of 2024 ahead of New Zealand and Australia, then the final booster in February 2025. Friendly, knowledgeable service from Farakh, who is the centre of excellence in the pharmacy. The developing vaccination service is a great asset to the area.
