Other Hepatitis Vaccines

The Hepatitis B Foundation maintains a regularly updated Hepatitis Vaccine Watch for hepatitis A and B vaccines. The manufacturers and names of hepatitis vaccines may be different in countries outside the United States.

For children, there are several single vaccine products, as well as combination vaccines, to help reduce the total number of vaccines that are given to them. Pediatric hepatitis vaccines are being manufactured without thimerosal, the mercury-based preservative that had been previously used.

New hepatitis B vaccines are also in development for poor-responders or non-responders to the currently approved HBV vaccines. Almost 5 - 15% of adults vaccinated against hepatitis B do not develop protective antibodies. These new vaccines may provide the protection they need.
