"MAY 2016 - CURRENT UNAVAILABILITY OF HEPATITIS A VACCINE COMMERCIALLY"
HEPATITIS A VACCINE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR MOST STUDENTS TRAVELLING OVERSEAS TO FOREIGN PARTS ON HOLIDAYS THIS SUMMER. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, IT IS NOT AVAILABLE TO US IN THE DIT STUDENT HEALTH CENTRE OR MOST GP SURGERIES.
THE ONLY OPTION WE CAN OFFER IS TO VACCINATE WITH HEPATITIS A+B VACCINE, WHICH IS INCORPORATING THE HEPATITIS B VACCINE WITH THE HEPATITIS A VACCINE. THERE ARE MANY GOOD REASONS FOR DOING THIS ANYWAY. THE JOINT HEPATITIS A + B VACCINE IS €10 MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE HEPATITIS A VACCINE ALONE AND ONE NEEDS TO GET TWO VACCINES BEFORE TRAVELLING AND ONE ON RETURN.
WE WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THIS FACT PRIOR TO YOU ENGAGING FOR A TRAVEL CONSULTATION.
SOME STOCKS OF HEPATITIS A MAY BE AVAILABLE AT SOME OF THE LARGER HEALTH CLINICS IN THE CITY THAT BUY IN BULK AND ENQUIRING WITH THEM MIGHT BE A GOOD OPTION.
IF IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO GET THE HEPATITIS B VACCINE AS WELL AS THE HEPATITIS A VACCINE, PLEASE MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH US IN THE USUAL WAY.
WE WELCOME SMALL GROUPS OF STUDENTS, TWO TO FOUR OR SO, BEING SEEN AT THE ONE TRAVEL HEALTH CONSULTATION IF GOING TO THE SAME DESTINATION - THIS MAKES THE COST OF YOUR TRAVEL HEALTH CONSULTATION CHEAPER FOR YOU.
