Free Hep B vaccination for people with hepatitis C

People living with hepatitis C will be able to access free hepatitis B vaccination from their doctor from 1 February 2012.

People with hepatitis B or hepatitis C should also consider vaccination for hepatitis A. Unfortunately the hepatitis A vaccination is not subsidised by the government. Speak to your doctor about whether a hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for you.

Vaccination is a safe and effective way of keeping you, your family, and your community safe. If you would like more information about hepatitis A or B vaccination, or viral hepatitis in general, contact the Hepatitis Infoline on 1800 703 003.
