The hepatitis A and B vaccines are used to protect against hepatitis A and B virus infections. Hepatitis A is a serious liver illness that can lead to death, which is why it's so important to obtain the vaccine. Hepatitis A is spread through close contact, while Hepatitis B is spread through bodily fluids such as sperm, blood, saliva, and vaginal fluids, or by sharing needles.
Anyone over the age of 18 who is at risk of infection through their job or certain activities should get the Hepatitis A and B combination vaccine. If you're heading to the Middle East, the Caribbean, Africa, or the former Soviet Union, you should have it.
People who use illegal injection drugs, people who engage in high-risk sexual activity (such as homosexual and bisexual males), residents of drug and alcohol treatment centers, military personnel, people who work in a childcare center or correctional facility, and people living in or moving to areas with high rates of HAV infection should all get the Hep A and Hep B combination vaccine (and who are at a high risk of HBV infection). It's also recommended for anyone whose job puts them in danger (such as police officers, laboratory workers who handle the Hep A and Hep B viruses, anyone who comes into contact with sewage or stool, and anyone who provides first aid or medical care).
In general, hepatitis vaccines will be available at Washington DC-area urgent care centers, retail clinics, primary care doctor offices and local pharmacies. While walk-in appointments are typically available, booking a visit online will reduce your wait time and ensure you protect yourself from hepatitis faster.
Regardless of the kind of vaccine you are seeking, Solv can help you book an appointment. Simply search for Washington DC-area doctors, find a provider, and book the most convenient time for you. Be sure to include your travel plans and previous immunizations to give your doctor a better idea of the vaccines you may need.

Individuals who live or work in an area prone to hep A or B, people with chronic liver disease, people who use drugs, and men who have sex with other men are at high risk for contracting Hep A, B or C and should seek vaccination as soon as possible.
While a hepatitis vaccine cannot be administered over video, your doctor can evaluate and advise you or your child from your home in Washington DC. They can discuss your travel plans, recommend and order necessary vaccinations, and book immunization appointments via telemedicine.
For adults without insurance, Hep A and B vaccines cost anywhere from $26 to $66. Pediatric versions of the vaccines cost anywhere from $18 to $55. Book a consultation with a general practitioner today to get a better idea of what a hepatitis vaccine will cost you in the Washington DC area.
Both the hepatitis A and B vaccines are typically covered by health insurance. Book an appointment and check your coverage in the Washington DC area today.
Telemedicine vaccine consultation coverage will vary depending on your circumstances. Typically, if your insurance will not cover an in-person visit, it won’t cover similar appointments via telehealth. Since consultations for hepatitis vaccines are often covered by insurance, it is likely that a video visit will be similarly covered.
