Why the hepatitis protection is important from family vacation to adventure trip

For many, travel planning is one of the first highlights of the year - no wonder! When it is gray and rainy in Germany, the holiday research is twice fun. You are looking forward to taking a break from everyday grind and feeling warm sun rays on the skin again. As beautiful as the anticipation is - trips to many popular holiday regions contain a risk of diseases such as hepatitis A and B. This is an inflammation of the liver, which can take a difficult course depending on the form of the disease and also become chronic.

Hepatitis A and B are widespread worldwide - also in popular European travel countries such as Italy and Spain.

Often it is contaminated food or contaminated tap water, which means that the pathogens are transmitted. The delicious paella in the chic restaurant directly on the promenade with a fantastic view of the sunset or an exciting diving course in the crystal -clear water to discover red corals, turtles and beautiful underwater plants - this is one side. But sources of infection can endanger our vacation happiness. While hepatitis a faecal oral is spread, hepatitis B is transmitted by body fluids (e.g. through unprotected sexual contacts or in activities with risk of injury).

The long -awaited vacation should not be overshadowed by an infection. Vaccination is recommended in areas with increased hepatitis A deposits. Vaccination against hepatitis B can make sense if the travel time is more than four weeks or there is an increased risk of injury.
