Hurt my knee Friday night and got an MRI appointment Sunday evening (booked Sunday afternoon). Waited about 2 minutes and was done in just over 30 minutes. The team was amazing, friendly and efficient.

Hepatitis B Vaccine in Dubai: Complete Protection Against Hepatitis A and B
Five Vaccine Options for Children, Adults, Healthcare Workers & Travellers
5 Vaccine Options
Hep A, Hep B & combined Twinrix for all ages
Healthcare Workers
Occupational vaccination with serology confirmation
Travel Protection
Pre-travel consultation and destination-specific vaccines
The hepatitis B vaccine is one of the most important preventive immunizations available, protecting against a virus that causes chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. At Doctors Clinic Diagnostic Center (DCDC) in Dubai Healthcare City, we administer five hepatitis vaccine formulations covering both hepatitis A and hepatitis B, individually or in a convenient combined dose. Whether you are a parent protecting your child, a healthcare worker meeting occupational requirements, or a traveller preparing for a high-risk destination, our clinic provides the right hepatitis vaccine for your needs.
We stock ENGERIX B 10mcg (pediatric hepatitis B), ENGERIX B 20mcg (adult hepatitis B), HAVRIX 720 Junior (pediatric hepatitis A), HAVRIX 1440 Adult (adult hepatitis A), and TWINRIX Adult (combined hepatitis A and B). Each vaccine targets different patient groups and follows distinct dosing schedules. ENGERIX B requires a three-dose series at 0, 1, and 6 months for full hepatitis B protection, while HAVRIX requires two doses spaced 6 to 12 months apart for hepatitis A immunity. TWINRIX combines both antigens in a three-dose schedule, offering comprehensive protection against both viruses in fewer total injections.
Healthcare workers, laboratory staff, first responders, and dental professionals in the UAE are required to demonstrate hepatitis B immunity as a condition of employment. Our clinic provides occupational hepatitis B vaccination with post-vaccination serology testing to confirm adequate antibody response. For individuals who do not achieve protective antibody levels after the initial three-dose series, we offer booster doses and revaccination protocols as recommended by international occupational health guidelines.
Travel vaccination for hepatitis A and hepatitis B is strongly recommended for anyone visiting regions where these viruses are endemic, including South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Central America, and parts of Southeast Asia. Hepatitis A spreads through contaminated food and water, while hepatitis B transmits through blood and bodily fluids. Our pre-travel consultation service assesses your destination risk, reviews your existing immunity, and recommends the appropriate vaccine or combination to ensure you are protected before departure. We recommend scheduling travel consultations at least eight weeks before your trip to allow time for multi-dose vaccine series.
All hepatitis vaccines at DCDC are stored under strict cold-chain conditions monitored continuously to ensure potency. Our medical team reviews each patient's vaccination history, checks for contraindications, and provides clear guidance on dosing schedules, expected side effects, and follow-up appointments. After vaccination, we observe all patients for 15 minutes as a standard safety precaution and update official vaccination records for school, employer, or travel documentation purposes.

Patient Guide
Understanding Hepatitis A and B: Transmission, Risks, and the Role of Vaccination
Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver, and the two most vaccine-preventable forms are hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Hepatitis A is caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV), which spreads primarily through the fecal-oral route — contaminated food, water, or close contact with an infected person. According to the World Health Organization, hepatitis A causes approximately 7,134 deaths globally each year. While hepatitis A does not cause chronic liver disease and most patients recover fully within weeks to months, the acute illness can be severe, causing prolonged fatigue, jaundice, nausea, and abdominal pain that can sideline patients for weeks. Vaccination eliminates this risk entirely with a simple two-dose series.
Hepatitis B is a far more serious public health threat. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmits through blood, sexual contact, and vertical transmission from mother to child during birth. The WHO estimates that 254 million people worldwide live with chronic hepatitis B infection, and the virus causes approximately 1.1 million deaths annually from cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). The danger of hepatitis B lies in its ability to establish chronic infection — while adults have a 5% risk of becoming chronic carriers after acute infection, infants infected at birth face a 90% risk of chronic infection, which is why neonatal hepatitis B vaccination is critically important.
The hepatitis B vaccine was the first vaccine ever developed to prevent a human cancer. Since its introduction in 1982, universal childhood hepatitis B vaccination programs have dramatically reduced chronic infection rates in countries that adopted them. In Taiwan, for example, hepatocellular carcinoma rates in children dropped by over 70% following universal neonatal vaccination. The vaccine works by introducing the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), a non-infectious protein produced through recombinant DNA technology, which stimulates the immune system to produce protective antibodies (anti-HBs). When antibody levels reach 10 mIU/mL or higher after vaccination, the individual is considered immune and protected against both acute and chronic hepatitis B infection.
Combination vaccines like TWINRIX represent an important advancement in hepatitis prevention, offering protection against both hepatitis A and hepatitis B in a single vaccine series. This is particularly valuable for travellers, who often need both vaccines before visiting endemic regions, and for healthcare workers, who benefit from comprehensive protection against both blood-borne and fecal-oral hepatitis transmission. The development of combination vaccines has improved vaccination compliance by reducing the total number of clinic visits and injections required, making it easier for patients to complete their full immunization series and achieve lasting protection against these preventable liver diseases.
Conditions Prevented by Hepatitis Vaccination at DCDC
Hepatitis A
Acute viral liver infection transmitted through contaminated food and water, causing jaundice, fatigue, and abdominal pain. Prevented by HAVRIX vaccine with a two-dose series providing long-lasting immunity.
Hepatitis B
Blood-borne viral infection that can become chronic, leading to progressive liver damage over decades. The hepatitis B vaccine (ENGERIX B) provides over 95% protection with a three-dose series.
Liver Cirrhosis
Chronic hepatitis B infection is a leading cause of liver cirrhosis worldwide, where healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, progressively impairing liver function. Vaccination prevents the initial infection that leads to cirrhosis.
Liver Cancer (Hepatocellular Carcinoma)
Chronic hepatitis B is responsible for approximately 50% of hepatocellular carcinoma cases globally. The hepatitis B vaccine is recognized as the first anti-cancer vaccine, preventing the chronic infection that leads to malignant transformation of liver cells.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Hepatitis Vaccine in Dubai.
We administer five hepatitis vaccine formulations: ENGERIX B 10mcg (pediatric hepatitis B for children under 16), ENGERIX B 20mcg (adult hepatitis B for ages 16 and older), HAVRIX 720 Junior (pediatric hepatitis A), HAVRIX 1440 Adult (adult hepatitis A), and TWINRIX Adult (combined hepatitis A and B for adults). Each vaccine is selected based on the patient's age, medical history, and the specific protection needed.
The standard hepatitis B vaccine schedule requires three doses given at 0, 1, and 6 months. All three doses are necessary for long-term protection, which exceeds 95% in healthy adults who complete the full series. An accelerated schedule (0, 1, 2 months with a booster at 12 months) is available for travellers or healthcare workers who need faster protection. Our team will recommend the appropriate schedule based on your timeline and risk factors.
Hepatitis A and hepatitis B are caused by different viruses with distinct transmission routes. Hepatitis A spreads through contaminated food and water and typically causes acute illness that resolves without chronic disease. Hepatitis B spreads through blood, sexual contact, and mother-to-child transmission and can become chronic, leading to cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis A vaccine (HAVRIX) requires two doses, while the hepatitis B vaccine (ENGERIX B) requires three doses. TWINRIX combines both vaccines into a single three-dose series for comprehensive protection.
Yes, hepatitis B vaccination is a mandatory occupational health requirement for healthcare workers, laboratory technicians, dental professionals, and other staff who may be exposed to blood or bodily fluids in the UAE. Employers typically require documented proof of hepatitis B immunity, which involves completing the three-dose vaccine series followed by a blood test (anti-HBs serology) to confirm adequate antibody levels above 10 mIU/mL. Our clinic provides both the vaccination series and post-vaccination serology testing with official documentation.
Hepatitis A vaccination is strongly recommended for travellers visiting countries in South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Central America, and parts of Southeast Asia where the virus is endemic. Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for travellers who may have exposure to blood or bodily fluids, including those receiving medical or dental care abroad. For convenience, the TWINRIX combined vaccine provides protection against both viruses in a single three-dose series. We recommend scheduling a travel consultation at least eight weeks before departure to complete the vaccine series.
TWINRIX offers the convenience of combined hepatitis A and B protection in three injections instead of the five injections required when giving HAVRIX and ENGERIX B separately. The protection provided by TWINRIX is equivalent to the individual vaccines. TWINRIX is approved for adults aged 18 and older. For patients who only need protection against one type of hepatitis, the individual vaccines remain the appropriate choice. Our team will advise which option best suits your needs based on your existing immunity and vaccination history.
Common side effects of the hepatitis B vaccine include soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site, mild fatigue, and low-grade fever lasting one to two days. These reactions are normal signs that the immune system is responding to the vaccine. Serious allergic reactions are extremely rare, occurring in fewer than 1 in a million doses. All patients are observed for 15 minutes after vaccination as a standard safety precaution. You should inform your doctor of any previous allergic reactions to vaccines before receiving your dose.
Studies show that the hepatitis B vaccine provides protection for at least 20 to 30 years and likely for life in individuals who respond to the initial three-dose series. The World Health Organization states that booster doses are not routinely recommended for healthy individuals who completed the primary series, as immune memory persists even after antibody levels decline. However, healthcare workers and immunocompromised patients may benefit from periodic serology testing to confirm ongoing immunity, and booster doses can be administered if antibody levels fall below the protective threshold.
