Hepatitis A and B vaccination

You can reduce the risk of hepatitis A and B transmission with some simple, basic personal hygiene measures, these include: - Regular hand washing - Drinking from unopened bottles and cans, which have an intact seal - Making drinks made from boiled water (the only caveat to this is that some parasitic cysts can survive boiling, so you should ideally disinfect with chlorine tablets (these are available at Health Klinix) - Don’t use ice - Recently prepared, thoroughly cooked food served hot, fruit that you can peel yourself, and pasteurised dairy produce are also good options for food - Avoid foods such as salads, uncooked fruit and vegetables, food left uncovered in warm places, unpasteurised dairy produce, raw meat and fish
