Hepatitis B surface antigen recombinant
Shortage resolved
The TGA records this shortage as over. Supply reaching individual pharmacies can still take time after a shortage is resolved, so your pharmacy may not have restocked yet.
1 product record on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, listed in full below. The TGA last updated this information on 25 February 2026. Not medical advice.
The TGA does not publish a reason for a shortage, so Voxsanity cannot show one. Nothing on this page is an explanation of why supply is affected — that information is not in the source and is not inferred here.
This is national information. The TGA records shortages for Australia as a whole. There is no state, territory or pharmacy-level stock information in this data, and Voxsanity cannot tell you whether a particular pharmacy has a medicine in stock. Your pharmacist can.
