HEPLISAV‑B must be given by a medical professional, who will monitor you afterwards, to check for allergic reaction.
If you are immunocompromised, or receiving immunosuppressant therapy, you may have less of an immune response to HEPLISAV‑B.

The most common side effects include pain at the injection site, tiredness, and headache.
HEPLISAV‑B was not studied in pregnant or nursing women. Tell your provider if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant or are breast feeding.
Vaccination with HEPLISAV‑B may not protect all individuals.
Talk to your healthcare provider to determine if HEPLISAV‑B is right for you.
