Infectious diseases, vaccination

Hepatitis A is liver inflammation caused by the highly contagious hepatitis A virus. Infection occurs through consumption of food, water, objects and hands contaminated with the virus or through close contact with an infected person. The most common symptoms include fever, abdominal discomfort, muscle aches, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes and whites of the eyes.

The vaccination schedule consists of two doses. The second dose can be administered anytime between six months to five years, preferably between six to twelve months after the first dose, in order to achieve long-term protection.

All vaccinations done at Confido are recorded in your vaccination passport, which we ask you to take with you when you come to get vaccinated.

If necessary, we will issue a new vaccination passport for an additional fee (€10).
