Vaccines

We offer Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and HPV vaccines for certain high risk patient groups. For each vaccine, you may need up to 3 injections.

Hepatitis A vaccine

Hepatitis A is a liver infection caused by a virus that can be acquired by having sex with someone with Hepatitis A (this is particularly a risk for men who have sex with men) or by injecting drugs using contaminated equipment.

We offer the vaccination to people at high risk of acquiring Hepatitis A sexually, such as:

  • Men and trans men / women who have sex with men
  • Sex workers
  • People who frequently pay for sex
  • People who have a sexual partner with active hepatitis A

Please book a telephone appointment; you will then be given a clinic appointment if appropriate.

Hepatitis B vaccine

Hepatitis B is a virus that can be acquired during sex. It can cause scarring of the liver (cirrhosis) and liver cancer. We offer the vaccination to people at high risk of acquiring Hepatitis B sexually, such as:

  • Men and trans men/women who have sex with men
  • Sex workers, or people who frequently pay for sex
  • People who have a sexual partner with active hepatitis B.

Please book a telephone appointment; you will then be given a clinic appointment if appropriate.

HPV vaccine

Human papillomavirus is a virus that infects the skin. It usually has no symptoms, but some strains cause genital warts. Other strains can persist and lead to cancers of the anus, throat and penis. The HPV vaccine helps protect against HPV infection.

Am I eligible for the HPV vaccination?

If you are a man who has sex with men and are aged 45 years or under, then you are eligible for the HPV vaccination.

How do I get the HPV vaccination?

Please book a telephone appointment; you will then be given a clinic appointment if appropriate.
