This means that you can come to us for all of your vaccination needs.
Why are vaccinations important?
Vaccines are the most effective method for preventing infectious diseases. They protect not only yourself, but also those around you, stopping the spread of diseases to those who cannot have the vaccines. Since vaccines were introduced in the UK, diseases such as polio, smallpox and tetanus are either gone, or incredibly rare.
How do vaccines work?
Vaccinations teach your immune system how to produce antibodies that protect you from diseases. It is safer for your immune system to learn this way than through catching the disease itself. Once your body has learned how to fight a disease, you are often protected for many years.
Vaccines sometimes cause mild side effects, such as a sore arm. However, these normally only last for 2 or 3 days. Vaccines are constantly monitored for their side effects following their introduction; they undergo exhaustive safety testing beforehand.
When might I need to have a vaccine?
You may need to have a vaccine if you form part of a high-risk group, to protect you against viruses such as Covid-19, or the flu. You may also need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.
The NHS routine immunisation schedule protects you against a variety of diseases. However, it does not protect you against all of the diseases found abroad. Further information regarding the vaccines you need for travel can be found on the NHS Fit for Travel website.
Corporate Hepatitis B Vaccine
Moreover, whatever your line of work, from sales to construction, your staff may be required to travel abroad for a variety of reasons. This may often be in locations where you need vaccines to protect against diseases that are not native to the UK. Hepatitis B is a viral infection which can cause damage to your liver. Hepatitis B spreads through bodily fluids, such as blood and semen.
According to the NHS, if it is left untreated, it could eventually develop into chronic Hepatitis B. This can lead to life-threatening complications, such as liver cancer and liver failure. It is all the more essential to protect those from professions that make them more likely to come into contact with bodily fluids. If you are looking to protect your employees on their travels – Acheason Pharmacy is here to help. We offer a corporate Hepatitis B Vaccine to get you where you need to go, safely.
