Can Women Get the Hepatitis B Vaccine During Their Period?

Question

Is it suitable for women to get the Hepatitis B vaccine during their menstrual period?

Answer

During their menstrual period, women can receive the Hepatitis B vaccine. The vaccine has minimal side effects, but before vaccination, it is necessary to check for Hepatitis B virus markers (HBsAg). If they have not been infected with Hepatitis B, or have insufficient antibody levels, or have not received a booster shot for a long time, it is recommended to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Precautions to know before vaccination: If they are already infected with Hepatitis B, vaccination is ineffective. If they have been vaccinated before and have developed antibodies, then only one dose is needed instead of three.
