Consider both risks separately
Hepatitis A risk may be linked to contaminated food and water. Hepatitis B risk may involve contact with infected blood or certain body fluids. Tell the pharmacist which exposures are relevant to your travel, work or other plans.
Bring records for both vaccines
A previous course for one infection can change which doses you need now. Bring the exact product names and dates if you have them, especially if your records say only “hepatitis”.

Check the course against your departure date
Ask which doses can be given before you leave and what follow-up may be needed. Write down the infections covered and the agreed dates for any later doses.
