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.
