Hepa Vaccine Price Philippines 2026: Hepatitis A & B Costs
Quick answer: The hepa vaccine price in the Philippines depends on the type of hepatitis vaccine and where you get it. Among the published private-provider prices reviewed, a hepatitis B vaccine costs ₱730 to ₱2,200 per dose, while hepatitis A vaccination costs ₱3,500 to ₱4,830 per dose. Hi-Precision lists hepatitis B at ₱1,850 and hepatitis A at ₱3,840, with a separate ₱150 administration fee. Watsons lists the combined hepatitis A+B vaccine, Twinrix Adult, at ₱2,105 per dose for the vaccine product only. Hepatitis B immunization is free for eligible infants and young children through government health facilities.
When it is used: Hepatitis vaccines protect against viral infections that affect the liver. Hepatitis A spreads mainly through contaminated food or water, while hepatitis B spreads through infected blood, sexual contact, and mother-to-child transmission. Hepatitis B vaccination is part of routine newborn immunization, and adults with occupational or other exposure risks may also need protection. Hepatitis A vaccination may be recommended for children, travelers, and people with certain medical or exposure risks. These vaccines prevent infection; they do not treat an existing hepatitis infection.

How these prices were calculated: The ranges represent selected publicly advertised provider rates, including some promotional prices. Full-course totals multiply the listed per-dose price by the usual number of doses; they assume that the same price remains available for every appointment. They are not national average prices.
Which Hepa Vaccine Do You Need?
The term “hepa vaccine” can refer to three different options.
| Feature | Hepatitis A | Hepatitis B | Combined A+B |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protects against | Hepatitis A virus | Hepatitis B virus | Both viruses |
| Common transmission | Contaminated food or water | Blood and certain body fluids | Both routes |
| Typical adult course | 2 doses | Often 3 doses | 3 doses |
| Common brands | Havrix, Vaqta | Engerix-B | Twinrix |
| Routine free infant program | Not included in the standard nationwide schedule reviewed | Included | Not included |
If an employer or school asks for a “hepa vaccine,” confirm whether they specifically require hepatitis B vaccination. A hepatitis B shot does not protect against hepatitis A, and the reverse is also true.
Hepatitis A vaccine price
Hepatitis A vaccination is available through selected private clinics, pediatricians, and vaccination providers. Published prices include:
| Provider | Location | Price per dose |
|---|---|---|
| Ashrey Diagnostic Center, through Hati Health | Makati / Taguig | ₱3,500 |
| Balbido Medical Clinic, through Hati Health | Alabang / Makati | ₱4,830 |
| Hi-Precision Diagnostics | Participating branches | ₱3,840 + ₱150 administration |
For a patient paying ₱3,500 per dose, the two-dose course would cost ₱7,000 if the price stays unchanged.
A standard single-antigen hepatitis A vaccine series requires two doses. For Havrix, the usual interval is 6–12 months; for Vaqta, it is 6–18 months. The correct adult or pediatric formulation depends on the patient’s age.
Hepatitis B vaccine price
Selected private providers advertise the following hepatitis B vaccination prices:
| Provider | Location | Published price per dose |
|---|---|---|
| Healthway QualiMed, through Hati Health | Manila | ₱730 |
| EC Care, through Hati Health | Mandaue, Cebu | ₱1,200 |
| Balbido Medical Clinic, through Hati Health | Alabang / Makati | ₱1,700 |
| GAIA OBGYN Ultrasound Clinic, through Hati Health | Parañaque / Biñan | ₱1,800 |
| Hi-Precision Diagnostics | Participating branches | ₱1,850 + ₱150 administration |
| Ashrey Diagnostic Center, through Hati Health | Makati / Taguig | ₱1,920 |
| SureVax, through Hati Health | Metro Manila branches | ₱2,200 |
Hati Health booking prices may be promotional and may differ from the clinic’s regular walk-in rate. For previously unvaccinated adults receiving a conventional three-dose hepatitis B vaccine, the usual schedule is:
- First dose: Month 0
- Second dose: Month 1
- Third dose: Month 6
Other approved schedules and formulations exist. The provider should check your vaccination history and the product being used.
How Much Does a Complete Hepa Vaccine Series Cost?
The total course price is more useful for budgeting than the price of a single injection.
| Example | Per-dose cost | Number of doses | Estimated total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hepatitis B at Healthway promotional rate | ₱730 | 3 | ₱2,190 |
| Hepatitis B at EC Care | ₱1,200 | 3 | ₱3,600 |
| Hepatitis B at Hi-Precision, including administration | ₱2,000 | 3 | ₱6,000 |
| Hepatitis A at Ashrey | ₱3,500 | 2 | ₱7,000 |
| Hepatitis A at Hi-Precision, including administration | ₱3,990 | 2 | ₱7,980 |
| Hepatitis A at Balbido | ₱4,830 | 2 | ₱9,660 |
| Twinrix Adult from Watsons, vaccine only | ₱2,105 | 3 | ₱6,315 |
These are arithmetic estimates, not guaranteed package quotations. They exclude additional consultations or other charges unless specifically included in the example.
Combined Hepatitis A and B Vaccine Price
The combined hepatitis A+B vaccine protects against both infections through one vaccination series. Watsons Philippines lists Twinrix Adult at ₱2,105 per dose, giving a vaccine-only cost of ₱6,315 for three doses.
The standard Twinrix Adult schedule is at months 0, 1, and 6. An accelerated schedule may be used in appropriate circumstances, but it involves a different dosing timetable and an additional dose.
Twinrix Adult is intended for adults aged 18 and older. Ask your provider whether the combination product is suitable for your age and vaccination history.
Is the combination vaccine cheaper than separate vaccines?
Not necessarily. Separate hepatitis A and B vaccines usually require five injections in total for an adult completing a conventional two-dose hepatitis A and three-dose hepatitis B course. Twinrix Adult uses three injections under its standard schedule.
However, vaccine-product prices, clinic fees, and promotions determine which option costs less. Do not compare a pharmacy’s vaccine-only price with a clinic’s fully administered package as though they include identical services.
Government vs Private Hepa Vaccine Prices
Government health centers are the main source of free routine hepatitis B vaccination for eligible infants and children. For adults, government hospitals may offer paid vaccination services, but availability, pricing, and eligibility vary.
Your supplied price research identifies these rates for UP-Philippine General Hospital:
| Vaccine | PGH rate reported in supplied price research |
|---|---|
| Hepatitis B | ₱500 per dose |
| Hepatitis A | ₱1,800 per dose |
| Hepatitis A+B | ₱1,700 per dose |
Verification needed: These three PGH figures could not be independently confirmed against an accessible current official rate schedule during this review. They should not be treated as confirmed current charges until PGH verifies the applicable vaccine brand, patient eligibility, and service inclusions.
For private vaccination, the published examples above provide clearer current online pricing. Private providers may offer appointment booking, promotional packages, and, in some cases, home vaccination.
Hepa Vaccine Price at Hi-Precision
Hi-Precision Diagnostics publishes separate hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine listings through its online store.
| Vaccine | Listed price | Administration fee | Total per dose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hepatitis A | ₱3,840 | ₱150 | ₱3,990 |
| Hepatitis B | ₱1,850 | ₱150 | ₱2,000 |
Hi-Precision requires a valid doctor’s prescription specifying the vaccine type, dosage, route, and recommended schedule.
The company also indicates that vaccines may be ordered through a third-party supplier, with an estimated delivery time of 5–10 working days. Availability should be checked before booking.
Hepa Vaccine Price at Watsons
Watsons lists hepatitis vaccine products separately from clinic-administered vaccination services.
| Vaccine product | Listed retail price |
|---|---|
| Engerix-B 20, hepatitis B | ₱803 |
| Twinrix Adult, hepatitis A+B | ₱2,105 |
These are vaccine-product listings, not confirmed all-inclusive vaccination appointments.
Before purchasing a vaccine for administration elsewhere, confirm that a licensed vaccination provider will accept it and can maintain the required cold chain. Vaccines must be stored and transported under appropriate temperature conditions.
Free Hepatitis B Vaccine for Babies and Children
Under Republic Act No. 10152, the Mandatory Infants and Children Health Immunization Act of 2011, basic immunization against hepatitis B is included among the vaccines provided free at government hospitals and health centers for infants and children up to five years old.
The hepatitis B birth dose should be given within 24 hours after birth. Further hepatitis B protection is provided through the recommended childhood immunization schedule, including hepatitis B-containing combination vaccines.
Parents should bring their child’s immunization record to the barangay health center or rural health unit for scheduling.
Hepatitis A is not included in the standard free nationwide infant immunization schedule reviewed for this article. Local programs may differ.
Does PhilHealth Cover Hepa Vaccination?
PhilHealth includes the hepatitis B birth dose within its newborn care benefits at accredited providers. Recent reporting on expanded PhilHealth maternal and newborn benefits identifies a newborn care package of ₱5,752.50, covering essential newborn services that include the first hepatitis B vaccine dose.
This is a provider benefit package, not a cash payment to parents and not the retail price of the hepatitis B vaccine. For adults buying a routine hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or combination vaccination at a private clinic, no general standalone PhilHealth reimbursement benefit was confirmed in the sources reviewed.
Ask your PhilHealth-accredited primary care provider whether any applicable program or service is available for your circumstances.
HMO Coverage, Senior Citizen and PWD Discounts
HMO coverage
Adult vaccination coverage depends on the specific HMO contract. Some plans include preventive vaccination or wellness benefits; others exclude routine vaccines.
Check whether your plan covers the vaccine itself, administration, consultation, and any required laboratory tests. Confirm whether a letter of authorization is needed.
Senior citizen and PWD discounts
Philippine law provides eligible senior citizens and persons with disabilities with statutory discounts and VAT exemptions on covered medicines and medical services, subject to applicable rules.
The final discount depends on the classification of the vaccine or service and the applicable billing rules. Where promotional and statutory discounts cannot be combined, ask the provider which eligible discount produces the lower lawful price.
Do not assume a fixed 20% deduction from every advertised vaccination package.
What Extra Fees Should You Budget For?
A published price may not include everything needed to complete the vaccination.
| Possible extra charge | When it applies |
|---|---|
| Administration fee | When the vaccine and injection service are priced separately |
| Doctor’s consultation | When medical assessment or a prescription is required |
| HBsAg or anti-HBs test | When testing is indicated before or after hepatitis B vaccination |
| Home-service fee | When vaccination is provided at home or at work |
| Follow-up appointments | When each dose is billed separately |
For example, Hi-Precision charges a ₱150 administration fee per vaccine dose in addition to the vaccine’s listed price.
Do you need a blood test before vaccination?
Not everyone needs hepatitis blood tests before vaccination. A clinician may request HBsAg, which checks for current hepatitis B infection, or anti-HBs, which helps assess immunity.
Testing can be relevant for healthcare personnel, people with certain exposure risks, or those with an uncertain vaccination history. Pre-vaccination testing should not automatically delay hepatitis B vaccination when vaccination is otherwise indicated.
Hepatitis B Vaccine for Work, School and Healthcare Training
Hepatitis B vaccination is especially important for healthcare workers who may encounter blood or other potentially infectious body fluids. Nurses, medical technologists, healthcare students, and some other workers may be asked to submit vaccination records or proof of immunity.
The University of the Philippines Manila’s health examination instructions, for example, identify HBsAg and anti-HBs testing for specified healthcare student groups and require proof of vaccination when applicable.
An employer’s vaccination documentation policy is not the same as a universal legal requirement for every occupation. Ask your school or employer whether it accepts a completed vaccination card, requires an anti-HBs result, or provides vaccination through an occupational health program.
Do You Need a Prescription for a Hepa Vaccine?
Requirements depend on the provider. Hi-Precision requires a doctor’s prescription for its vaccination service. Watsons identifies certain hepatitis vaccines as prescription-required products.
Other vaccination centers may offer an on-site assessment before vaccination. Bring any previous immunization records, particularly if you are completing a series started at another facility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Magkano ang hepa B vaccine sa health center?
Routine hepatitis B immunization is free for eligible infants and young children at government health centers. Adult vaccine availability and charges vary, so ask the local health office about its current program.
How much is the hepa vaccine for adults?
Published private-provider rates reviewed for hepatitis B range from ₱730 to ₱2,200 per dose. Hepatitis A costs ₱3,500–₱4,830 per dose in the selected clinic listings. The complete cost depends on the number of doses and additional fees.
Is one hepatitis B vaccine dose enough?
One dose is generally not a complete standard adult series. Many adult hepatitis B vaccines use three doses, although schedules differ by product and patient circumstances.
Are pediatric hepatitis vaccines cheaper?
Not always. Pediatric formulations and adult formulations can have different prices, and clinic promotions also affect the comparison. Routine hepatitis B immunization is free for eligible children through government facilities.
Can I receive hepatitis A and B vaccines together?
Yes. A combined vaccine such as Twinrix Adult can protect against both viruses. The product and schedule must be appropriate for the patient’s age and medical history.
What if I miss my next vaccine dose?
A delayed hepatitis A or hepatitis B vaccine series generally does not need to be restarted. Arrange the missed dose with your vaccination provider, who can confirm the appropriate minimum intervals.
Can I get vaccinated if I already have hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B vaccination prevents infection; it does not treat an existing infection. If you have hepatitis B or an uncertain test result, consult a clinician about the appropriate next steps.
Does a hepatitis vaccine protect against hepatitis C?
No. Hepatitis A and B vaccines do not protect against hepatitis C. There is currently no licensed hepatitis C vaccine.
Before You Book Your Hepa Vaccine
Ask the vaccination provider these questions:
- Is the vaccine for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or both?
- Which brand and adult or pediatric formulation will be used?
- Is the quoted price per dose or for the entire course?
- Are administration and consultation included?
- Will the same promotional rate apply to later doses?
- Is a prescription or blood test required?
- Can you receive a vaccination card showing the brand, batch, and next-dose date?
- Does your HMO or an applicable discount reduce the cost?
For the lowest-cost option, eligible parents should first check government childhood immunization services. Adults can compare public hospital availability with private clinic prices, but should verify the full administered cost rather than the vaccine price alone.
How CareCostPH Checked These Prices
On October 21, 2026, CareCostPH reviewed publicly accessible vaccine listings from Philippine vaccination providers, diagnostic facilities, and pharmacy sources, together with government immunization and PhilHealth information.
The comparison distinguishes advertised private-clinic rates from vaccine-only retail prices. Prices may be promotional, may change between doses, and may not include every service.
Prices are for general information and may change. Confirm current vaccine availability, the total price, and service inclusions with the provider. Vaccination decisions should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.
