Hello,
If you have received 1 dose of the hepatitis A vaccine and 2 doses of the hepatitis B vaccine between the ages of 1 and 18 years as is now given in school, you are protected. Therefore, you do not need a booster dose as an adult
Note that if you want to be sure that you have all your vaccines up to date, many pharmacies offer a vaccination booklet update service with nurses on site. If you also need medication for your trip, your local pharmacist can help you.
We look forward to hearing from you,
Sarah-Yan Chagnon, pharmacist
