Protection Against Hepatitis A & B
About the Twinrix Vaccine
Twinrix is an FDA-approved combination vaccine that protects against both Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B. By combining two vaccines in one shot, it offers a convenient option for adults seeking complete protection with fewer visits.
Who It’s For
Adults 18+ needing protection — including international travelers, healthcare workers, and those with chronic liver disease.
Schedule
Standard: 3 doses at 0, 1, and 6 months. Accelerated: 4-dose series available for rapid protection.
Safety
The safety profile of Twinrix is consistent with the individual Hepatitis A & B vaccines. Most side effects are mild and temporary.
Science Made Simple
Mechanism of Twinrix
What It Contains
Inactivated Hepatitis A virus (safe, non-infectious) + recombinant Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) produced with yeast technology.
Immune Response
The Hepatitis A part triggers antibodies to neutralize infection. The Hepatitis B part stimulates HBsAg antibodies, blocking virus entry into liver cells.
Long-Term Protection
Stimulates immune memory — your body retains “instructions” for rapid defense, providing durable protection against both Hepatitis A & B for years.
✅ In short: Twinrix safely trains your immune system to build antibodies and memory cells against both Hepatitis A & B, preventing future infections.
Hepatitis A vs. Hepatitis B
Both viruses target the liver but differ in how they spread, the risks they pose, and the vaccines required. Here’s how they compare — and how Twinrix protects against both.
Why Choose Twinrix?
One series. Dual protection. Twinrix is the only FDA-approved vaccine that protects against both Hepatitis A & B — fewer shots, complete coverage, and lasting immunity.
