LouDYorkie Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hi, you can check prices with a chemist but I think I paid $130 for Hep A, then maybe $30 for each Hep B (there were 3 close together, then 1 was due 12 months after for longer/lifetime protection) I also paid for one doctors appointment which was approx $105 but I got around $75 back as a medicare rebate. The first 3 Hep B vaccines need doing at short intervals and before you go ideally so best to get in early if you think you will need them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNemo Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 See a gp and get the script then shop around, there can often be a significant difference between pharmacies although some will price match if asked. It is possible to get A and B in one with twinrix vaccine although still need more than one dose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
