Vaccines for at risk groups
Some vaccines are only available on the NHS for groups of people who need extra protection.
Hepatitis B vaccination
If you are at high risk of getting hepatitis b and are pregnant or thinking of having a baby, you will be advised to have the hepatitis b vaccine. It is not a live vaccine and therefore there is no evidence of any risk to you or your baby.
