Twinrix Vaccine (Protect Against Hepatitis A And B)

· Those in Bangkok looking to protect themselves against both Hepatitis A and B.
· Those who want to travel to regions with high hepatitis risk.
· Those who want to achieve long-term immunity from both viruses.
· Those who wish to get vaccinated with fewer injections.
· Those who wish to receive rapid protection before travelling.

Twinrix Vaccine is a combination vaccine designed to protect against both Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B infections. It contains inactivated hepatitis A virus and purified proteins from the hepatitis B virus. The vaccine is approved for use in adults and children over one year old who are not yet immune and are at risk of exposure to these viruses.

By combining two vaccines into one, Twinrix reduces the number of injections needed, making it a convenient and effective solution for individuals seeking protection from both diseases. It is especially beneficial for travellers, healthcare workers, or anyone with potential exposure risks.

Twinrix Vaccine is administered via intramuscular injection, usually into the upper arm. The vaccine is given in multiple doses depending on the chosen schedule (standard or accelerated). No special equipment is required beyond a sterile syringe and needle, and it is stored in a refrigerated environment to maintain stability.
