Learn About Vaccination

TWINRIX offers long-lasting protection against vaccine-preventable hepatitis (VPH), which includes hepatitis A and hepatitis B, through a single vaccine series. Vaccine-preventable hepatitis includes hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Hepatitis C is not vaccine preventable.

TWINRIX is a smart choice for the savvy traveler, because you'll need fewer injections than if you were to get separate hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines.

As a savvy traveler, you're always finding ways to be more efficient. So of course you want a vaccination that helps you do that.

Important Safety Information

Please talk with your healthcare provider to see if TWINRIX is right for you.

As with any vaccine, there is a small risk of allergic reactions. If you notice any problems following vaccination, or if you are allergic to any component of the vaccine such as neomycin, yeast, or latex, please inform your healthcare provider.

In clinical trials with TWINRIX, the most common side effects were:

  • pain at the injection site
  • redness at the injection site
  • headache
  • tiredness

These effects were mild and did not last more than 48 hours. As with any vaccine, rare adverse events may occur. (See Adverse Reactions section of the Prescribing Information for TWINRIX for other potential side effects.)

As with any vaccine, TWINRIX may not protect 100% of individuals receiving the vaccine.
