Infectious diseases, vaccination

Hepatitis B is a viral infectious disease that causes liver damage and is transmitted through contact with infected blood (including donor blood), sharing needles during drug injection, tattooing, microtraumas of the skin and mucous membranes, using contaminated household items, sexual contact and from an infected mother to her foetus/newborn. Symptoms of the disease may include fatigue, loss of appetite, fever, abdominal pain, bloating, tenderness or pain in the liver area, nausea, vomiting, joint pain and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes).

The vaccination schedule usually consists of three injections over the course of six months.

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).
