# Dynavax Patient Assistance Program Guide: How to Get HEPLISAV-B at Low or No Cost ## About HEPLISAV-B HEPLISAV-B is a hepatitis B vaccine approved by the FDA for adults 18 years of age and older. Unlike older hepatitis B vaccines that require three doses over six months, HEPLISAV-B provides protection with just two doses given one month apart. This faster schedule helps ensure patients complete their vaccination series and gain protection against all known subtypes of hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis B is a serious viral infection that can cause lifelong illness, liver damage, and other complications. While there is no cure for hepatitis B, effective vaccination can prevent the disease entirely. HEPLISAV-B is administered as an injection in the arm muscle by a healthcare provider. ## Who Can Get Help Through This Program Dynavax Technologies, the manufacturer of HEPLISAV-B, offers patient assistance to help eligible individuals access this vaccine at reduced or no cost.
