Private Hepatitis A vaccine cost in the UK is not one fixed national price. TravelJabs4U lists and routes travellers to participating clinics, and current clinic listings show that charges vary by clinic and vaccine formulation. Confirm the current price for the selected clinic before booking. If you are eligible for NHS travel vaccination, hepatitis A is one of the travel vaccines that may be available free through a GP surgery after a travel risk assessment.
This guide explains what can affect price, how dose schedules work, when combined vaccines may be relevant and how to arrange a travel-health appointment. It does not replace an individual clinical assessment, and booking does not guarantee that a particular vaccine is suitable or in stock.
How much does the Hepatitis A vaccine cost in the UK?
The private hepatitis A vaccine cost varies between clinics. At the time of this review, TravelJabs4U clinic listings showed different clinic-specific prices and the general booking route did not display one universal network tariff before clinic selection. For that reason, this page should not present one fixed TravelJabs4U price as though it applies everywhere.
Before you book, check whether the quoted amount is per dose or for a complete course. Also check whether a consultation, vaccination record or any other clinic fee is included. Combined vaccines can have different prices and dose schedules from a single-antigen hepatitis A vaccine.
· Clinic and location: participating clinics set or publish their own prices.
· Vaccine type: a single-antigen hepatitis A vaccine is different from combined hepatitis A and B or hepatitis A and typhoid vaccines.
· Adult or paediatric product: age and licensed product can affect the vaccine used and its schedule.
· Price basis: confirm whether the figure shown is per dose, per appointment or for a full course.
· Clinical assessment: your itinerary, health history and previous vaccination record can change what is recommended.
To compare current local options, use the TravelJabs4U clinic directory and confirm the selected clinic’s price before payment or vaccination.
Can you get the Hepatitis A vaccine free on the NHS?
Sometimes. The NHS lists hepatitis A among travel vaccinations that can be available free from a GP surgery after a travel risk assessment. Whether you can receive it through your GP depends on your travel risk, clinical circumstances and the service your GP practice provides.
Private vaccination can still be useful when you need an appointment outside your GP service, when the required vaccine is not available there, or when you prefer to use a private travel clinic. If cost is your main concern, check NHS eligibility before paying privately.
How many Hepatitis A vaccine doses are needed?
The dose schedule depends on the exact vaccine product, age and whether hepatitis A is given alone or in a combined vaccine. TravelHealthPro lists commonly used single-antigen hepatitis A vaccines as two-dose courses, with the second dose given months after the first; the exact licensed interval varies by product and age group.
Do not assume every adult and child follows the same schedule, and do not treat the second dose as an optional extra. A clinician should confirm the product, timing and whether an earlier dose is already documented in your vaccination record.
For a separate explanation of protection duration and the longer-term booster question, read how long the Hepatitis A vaccine lasts. Keeping duration detail on that page prevents this cost page from competing for the same search intent.
When should you arrange Hepatitis A vaccination before travel?
Arrange travel-health advice as early as you reasonably can. The NHS advises travellers to seek vaccination advice before a trip because some vaccines require a course of doses and time is needed to build protection. If departure is close, do not assume there is no point seeking advice; a clinician can assess what is still appropriate for your itinerary and health history.
Avoid a blanket rule such as “everyone must have the first dose exactly two or three weeks before travel”. Timing depends on the vaccine used, your previous doses, the destination and your individual risk.
Single Hepatitis A vaccine or a combined vaccine?
Hepatitis A vaccines are available as single-antigen products and in some combined formulations. A combined vaccine is not automatically better or more convenient: it is only useful when the other component is also appropriate for you, and the schedule may be different.
· Hepatitis A only: suitable when hepatitis A protection is the relevant need and the chosen product fits your age and clinical circumstances.
· Hepatitis A + hepatitis B: may be considered when protection against both infections is appropriate. The combined vaccine has its own product-specific schedule.
· Hepatitis A + typhoid: may be relevant for some travellers, but the indication and follow-up hepatitis A dose still need clinical review.
If hepatitis B is also being considered, use the Hepatitis B vaccine cost and booking guide for the separate hepatitis B service, price and schedule context rather than duplicating it here.
Who may be advised to have Hepatitis A vaccination?
Hepatitis A is spread mainly through the faecal-oral route, including contaminated food or water and close contact with an infected person. The NHS advises vaccination for people at higher risk of catching hepatitis A or becoming seriously ill from it. This can include travellers to countries where hepatitis A is common and people with certain medical, occupational or exposure risks.
Travel recommendations are destination-specific, so do not use a fixed list of “high-risk countries” that can become outdated. Check current destination advice and discuss your itinerary, accommodation, food and water exposure, length of stay and any underlying health conditions during the travel-health assessment.
What happens at a private travel-clinic appointment?
TravelJabs4U acts as a travel-health information, clinic-discovery and booking platform. The selected participating clinic or pharmacy is responsible for the clinical assessment, vaccine recommendation and administration unless the individual clinic page states a different verified relationship.
· Choose a clinic and appointment route that suits your location.
· Bring your travel dates, itinerary and any vaccination records you have.
· The clinician reviews your medical history, previous doses and destination risk.
· The clinic confirms which vaccine or combined product is appropriate, the dose schedule and the current price.
· Consent is obtained before vaccination and you should receive a record of the dose and any follow-up date.
You can choose a clinic and appointment time through the live booking route. Appointment availability, stock, suitability and final price remain subject to the selected clinic’s assessment and current information.
Hepatitis A vaccine side effects and safety
Hepatitis A vaccines are generally well tolerated. As with other vaccines, temporary reactions such as pain or soreness at the injection site, headache, tiredness or a mild fever can occur. Serious allergic reactions are uncommon but need urgent medical attention.
Tell the clinician about previous serious vaccine reactions, allergies, pregnancy, immune problems, current illness and any medicines or treatments that could affect vaccination. Product-specific contraindications and precautions should be checked against the current product information before administration.
Book a Hepatitis A vaccination
If you need private vaccination, start by finding a participating clinic and checking the current clinic-specific price. The hepatitis A vaccine cost should be confirmed for the exact product and dose you are being offered, especially if you are comparing single-antigen and combined vaccines.
A booking request does not guarantee vaccination, stock or clinical suitability. The selected clinic should confirm the final recommendation after reviewing your travel plans, vaccination history and health information.
Conclusion
The key point is that there is no single private hepatitis A vaccine price that safely applies to every TravelJabs4U-listed clinic. Check whether you can receive hepatitis A vaccination through the NHS, and if you are booking privately, confirm the selected clinic’s current per-dose or course price before your appointment.
Use this page for cost and booking decisions, the dedicated duration guide for long-term protection questions, and current destination advice for whether hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for your trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Hepatitis A vaccine cost privately in the UK?
Private prices vary by clinic, vaccine type and whether the amount shown is per dose or per course. TravelJabs4U does not have one verified universal network price on the public booking route, so confirm the selected clinic’s current price before booking.
Can I get a Hepatitis A travel vaccine free on the NHS?
The NHS lists hepatitis A among travel vaccinations that can be available free from a GP surgery after a travel risk assessment. Availability and eligibility depend on your circumstances and the service provided by your GP practice.
How many doses of Hepatitis A vaccine do I need?
The schedule is product- and age-specific. Common single-antigen hepatitis A vaccines are given as a two-dose course, with the second dose given months after the first. Combined vaccines can use different schedules, so a clinician should confirm the exact product and timing.
Do I need a Hepatitis A booster?
The second dose in a standard two-dose primary course should not be confused with a routine later booster. Current UK guidance supports long-term protection after a completed course, with later advice depending on ongoing risk and individual circumstances.
Can Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccines be given together?
A combined hepatitis A and B vaccine is available and may be appropriate when protection against both infections is indicated. The dose schedule differs from single-antigen hepatitis A vaccine and should be confirmed by the clinician.
Is it too late to get Hepatitis A vaccination if I travel soon?
Not necessarily. Seek travel-health advice as soon as possible. Some protection and scheduling decisions depend on the vaccine product, your previous doses, destination and health history, so do not rely on a fixed last-minute rule.
