Science Made Simple
How the Twinrix Vaccine Works
What’s Inside Twinrix
Twinrix combines two proven components: an inactivated Hepatitis A virus and a recombinant Hepatitis B surface antigen. These are non-infectious and safe.
How It Protects You
These components safely trigger your immune system to produce antibodies, preparing your body to fight Hepatitis A and B if exposed.
Long-Term Benefits
After vaccination, your immune system builds long-lasting memory, providing ongoing protection against both Hepatitis A & B.
