Question
My baby is a premature infant, and I have been very worried about the child’s condition. Recently, the baby has developed some issues, and I am very concerned, afraid that the situation may worsen. When can my baby get vaccinated?
Answer
Babies typically need to receive the hepatitis B vaccine at one month old, around the 28th day after birth. At this time, only one dose of the vaccine is required; do not administer it prematurely, but it can be delayed appropriately. If the baby does not have a cold or other diseases, it is recommended to get vaccinated on time to ensure the effectiveness of immunity. If parents have any concerns about their child’s health, they should take the child to see a doctor immediately and follow the doctor’s advice and treatment plan.
