You can get the hepatitis B vaccine from your local doctor.
Infants will usually get the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine at the hospital before they are discharged.
You may also be able to get hepatitis B vaccines from:
- your local council or community health clinics
- Aboriginal medical services
- school-based immunisation programs
- travel medical clinics
- sexual health clinics
- prison health centres
- aged care facilities.
You should check with these providers whether they are able to provide the hepatitis B vaccine and how much it will cost. Some people, including infants and children, can get the hepatitis B vaccine for free.
Remember, the vaccine involves up to three injections over several appointments to ensure immunity against hepatitis B is achieved.
