👥 Who Should Get BEVAC ADULT
Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for all unvaccinated adults, especially those at increased risk of exposure. BEVAC ADULT is especially important for:
🏥
Healthcare Workers
Doctors, nurses, lab technicians and other staff with occupational exposure to blood and body fluids face elevated risk and should be vaccinated before starting clinical work.
🏠
Household & Sexual Contacts
Family members, spouses and sexual partners of individuals with chronic Hepatitis B infection require vaccination to prevent transmission within the household.
💉
Dialysis & Transplant Patients
Individuals undergoing haemodialysis, organ transplantation or receiving frequent blood transfusions are at higher risk and benefit strongly from vaccination.
✈️
International Travelers
Travelers to regions with high Hepatitis B prevalence across parts of Asia, Africa and South America should be vaccinated well before departure.
💊
Diabetics & Chronic Illness
Adults with diabetes, chronic liver disease or other long-term conditions have increased susceptibility and are recommended to complete the vaccine series.
👤
Unvaccinated Adults
Anyone who did not receive the Hepatitis B vaccine series in childhood or is unsure of their vaccination status can safely catch up at any age.
🧑🤝🧑
Multiple Sexual Partners
Individuals with multiple sexual partners or a history of sexually transmitted infections are at higher risk of exposure and should be vaccinated.
🏢
Institutional & Frontline Staff
Prison staff, law enforcement and emergency responders with potential occupational blood exposure risk should also complete the vaccine series.

⚙️ How Does BEVAC ADULT Work?
1
Recombinant Antigen Injected Intramuscularly
1 mL of BEVAC ADULT is injected IM into the deltoid muscle. The dose delivers 20 mcg of purified recombinant HBsAg. No live virus or viral genetic material is present — the vaccine cannot cause Hepatitis B infection.
2
Immune System Recognition
Antigen-presenting cells at the injection site process the HBsAg protein and present it to T-helper cells, initiating the adaptive immune response.
3
Antibody Production (2–4 Weeks)
B-cells produce protective anti-HBs antibodies, with protective antibody levels typically achieved after completing the full 3-dose series.
4
Long-Term Immune Memory
Memory B-cells and T-cells persist for many years, providing durable protection and a rapid antibody response if exposed to Hepatitis B virus in the future.
⚠️ BEVAC ADULT Side Effects
BEVAC ADULT has an excellent safety record in adults. Most side effects are mild and resolve within 1–2 days. Our VacciHub nurses monitor all patients post-vaccination before leaving.
