Types of Hepatitis B Vaccines

There are several types of hepatitis B vaccines available, including yeast-derived and mammalian cell-derived vaccines. Yeast-derived vaccines, like Engerix-B and Recombivax HB, are widely used and require three doses. Mammalian-derived vaccines, like Prehevbrio, include additional antigens for enhanced protection.

Innovations in Vaccine Technology

The HepB-CpG vaccine is a new development offering rapid protection with just two doses. It includes a novel adjuvant, boosting the immune response more effectively than traditional vaccines. This innovation is particularly beneficial for those who may not complete a three-dose series.
The latest hepatitis B vaccines provide enhanced protection and convenience, utilizing innovative technologies such as the HepB-CpG vaccine.

Combination Vaccines

Hepatitis B vaccines are also available in combination with other vaccines, such as the hepatitis A vaccine. Combination vaccines reduce the number of injections, improving compliance and convenience for those needing protection against multiple viruses.
