Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly does PreHevbrio provide protection?
Protection typically begins within a few weeks after the first dose, but completing the full vaccination series is essential for optimal immunity against both hepatitis A and B.

Is PreHevbrio safe for long-term use?

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does PreHevbrio Work?
The vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against the hepatitis A and hepatitis B viruses. Upon vaccination, the body recognizes the components of the viruses (antigens) as foreign and mounts an immune response. This response helps protect against future infections by allowing the immune system to quickly recognize and fight off the viruses if exposed.
