Drug details

Twinrix (hepatitis a inactivated & hepatitis b (recombinant) vaccine)

type of Vaccines, Inactivated, Viral, Vaccines, Travel

Twinrix (hepatitis A inactivated and hepatitis B [recombinant]) Vaccine is indicated for active immunization of persons 18 years of age and older against disease caused by hepatitis A virus, and infection by all known subtypes of hepatitis B virus. As with any vaccine, vaccination with Twinrix may not protect 100% of recipients. As hepatitis D (caused by the delta virus) does not occur in the absence of hepatitis B infection, it can be expected that hepatitis D will also be prevented by vaccination with Twinrix.
