Symptoms Of Hepatitis B

Many people with Hepatitis B don't experience symptoms initially. When symptoms do occur, they may include:

  • Fatigue
  • Jaundice
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Abdominal pain
  • Dark urine

Hepatitis B Vaccination For High-Risk Workers

While you're out there saving lives, don't forget to take care of yourself.

If you're a healthcare worker, care home staff, police officer, medical waste disposal staff, sewage worker, firefighter, or cleaner in a medical setting, you're very likely working with blood or bodily fluids.

This puts you at the highest risk of contracting Hepatitis B.
