Hepatitis B Vaccine Supply Update

13 July 2018

Public Health England (PHE) has advised that GSK is confident that planned supplies of adult and paediatric hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix B®) are now sufficient to supply the UK market.

PHE have agreed to accelerate the phased re-introduction of hepatitis B vaccine outlined in the recovery plan, so that vaccine is now available for all priority groups 1 to 4.

This means that:

  • Vaccine is now available for travel. Please see individual country pages for indications for hepatitis B vaccination prior to travel.

To prevent excessive stockpiling and to ensure backlog or catch up vaccination can continue, some ordering restrictions will remain in place. If a vaccine order cannot be fulfilled by one manufacturer, please check with another.
