This is what I found
"Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) is a bacteria that can cause serious illness, including breathing problems or meningitis. Hib infection usually affects children and can be fatal.
Hepatitis B is a serious disease caused by virus. This virus is spread through blood or bodily fluids, sexual contact or sharing IV drug needles with an infected person, or during childbirth when a baby is born to a mother who is infected.
Hepatitis causes inflammation of the liver, vomiting, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes). Hepatitis can lead to liver cancer, cirrhosis, or death.
Haemophilus B and hepatitis B vaccine is used to help prevent these diseases in children between the ages of 6 weeks and 16 months old."
By the sounds of it they are two different diseases/viruses but can be tackled by a single vaccine- but im assuming that depends completeley on your GP if they use two or one vaccine.
Basically ASK YOUR GP BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING OR CALL YOUR UNIVERSITY.

Hib is part of the usual vaccines that babies get but you have to ask (and sometimes pay) to be vaccinated against Hep B. It's a course of vaccines over several months, not just one vaccine.

You should probably check with your GP that you've definitely had it

Does it matter if you have the same vaccine twice in your life?
