Two registered vaccinations can be received in Hungary.

Primary vaccination in case of both vaccinations consists of 3 doses both for children and adults, but between the age of 11-15 years 2 doses are sufficient from the dose of an adult. In case of healthy people (with an appropriate vaccination scheme) no re-vaccination is needed.

The second vaccination has to be given 1 month after the first one, and the third one 6-12 months after the first. If there is only 1 month left before the time of travel for getting the hepatitis vaccinations, they can be obtained with a 0-7-21 day time schedule above the age of 18, but in this case a re-vaccination is needed in 12 months.

The vaccination can also be used simultaneously with other immunizations.
