Hepatitis B Vaccine in Bangalore

Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the Hepatitis B virus, which spreads through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. The World Health Organisation estimates that over 250 million people worldwide are living with chronic Hepatitis B. While some recover naturally, many develop chronic infection, which can lead to liver damage or cancer. Manipal Hospitals in Bangalore support preventive healthcare through access to Hepatitis B vaccination for adults, children, healthcare workers, and other at-risk groups. The Hepatitis B Vaccine provides strong, long-lasting protection by stimulating the body’s immune response against the virus, making it one of the most effective ways to prevent liver-related complications and the spread of infection.
