Hepatitis A and B are serious liver diseases that travellers can contract, even in popular Caribbean destinations.
It’ s almost impossible to predict where hepatitis risks might be hiding, and you could be exposed through simple activities. In fact, among travellers, most cases of hepatitis A occur while staying at high-quality resorts. The Canadian Immunization Guide recommends vaccination against hepatitis for travellers to all risk areas.
Hepatitis A and B can sometimes be fatal. Once infected, you could spread the illness to others back home, even before you know you’ re sick. Twinrix ® vaccination can help protect you and your family against hepatitis A and B.
Don’ t take the chance. Ask your healthcare professional about Twinrix ® today.
