01Who should have the hepatitis A vaccine?
The hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for anyone planning to travel to countries where the virus is common, including parts of Africa, Asia, and Central America. It's also advised for people with chronic liver disease, those with HIV, and anyone working in food preparation or healthcare. If you're unsure whether you need it, our pharmacists at Kenmakos Medical can assess your individual risk and make a personalised recommendation.
02How many doses do I need?
The hepatitis A vaccine is typically given as a two-dose course. The first dose provides initial protection, and a booster dose given six to twelve months later offers long-term immunity, usually lasting a lifetime. Our team will schedule your appointments at Kenmakos Medical to fit around your travel plans or personal circumstances.
03Is the vaccine safe and what are the side effects?
The hepatitis A vaccine is very safe and has been used successfully for many years. Most people experience no side effects, though some may notice mild reactions like arm soreness, mild fever, or temporary fatigue. Serious side effects are extremely rare. Our pharmacists will discuss what to expect and answer any safety concerns before your vaccination at our Bletchley clinic.
04How quickly will I be protected?
Protection begins to develop within two weeks of your first dose, with most people fully protected by four weeks. If you're travelling soon, it's best to book your appointment as early as possible at Kenmakos Medical in Milton Keynes. Our team can advise on timing and may be able to arrange appointments quickly to suit your travel schedule.

Hepatitis A Vaccine at Kenmakos Medical
Protect yourself against hepatitis A with our convenient vaccination service at Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley. We provide expert advice and administration of this important vaccine to keep you and your family safe.
Why Hepatitis A Vaccination Matters
Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver and can cause serious illness. The virus spreads through contaminated food and water, making it a particular risk for travellers visiting areas with poor sanitation. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent infection and provides long-lasting immunity.
The hepatitis A vaccine is safe, well-tolerated, and highly effective at preventing the disease. Most people develop immunity after just one dose, with a booster dose providing protection for life. At Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley, we recommend vaccination for anyone planning to travel abroad, particularly to Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the Middle East.
Who Should Be Vaccinated
Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for travellers to high-risk countries, healthcare workers, people with chronic liver disease, and those with certain blood disorders. If you have a weakened immune system or are unsure whether you need the vaccine, our pharmacists can assess your individual circumstances and provide personalised advice.
The vaccine is suitable for adults and children from one year of age. If you are planning a trip abroad, we recommend getting vaccinated at least two weeks before travel to allow your immune system time to respond. Our team at Kenmakos Medical can check your travel plans and advise on the best timing for your vaccination.
The Vaccination Process
Our trained pharmacists will discuss your medical history, any allergies, and current medications before administering the vaccine. We'll explain what to expect during and after the vaccination, answer any questions you may have, and ensure you're comfortable throughout the process. The injection itself takes just a few minutes and is given into the upper arm.
After vaccination, you may experience mild side effects such as soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or fatigue, but these typically resolve within a day or two. We provide clear aftercare advice and you can contact us if you have any concerns. A booster dose is usually recommended 6 to 12 months after the initial vaccination to ensure lifelong protection.
