Question
After my child was born, the doctor said we need to go to the community health center to get vaccinated one month later. Exactly how long should we wait before going? Is there a fee for the first vaccination at the community health center?
Answer
Hello, generally, babies should receive the hepatitis B and BCG vaccines within 24 hours after birth. After the baby reaches one month old, they should go to the local health prevention station for the second dose of the hepatitis B vaccine. So, as long as your child is 30 days old, you can go for the vaccination. The hepatitis B vaccine is free according to national regulations, and generally, there is no charge for getting vaccinated there.
