Question
My child is now 6 years old and has received six doses of the Hepatitis B vaccine. Antibodies were not produced after the first three shots, but they were produced after the next three doses, only to be lost soon afterward. I’ve heard that it’s no longer recommended to get the Hepatitis B vaccine. Is this true? I myself am a hepatitis B carrier, and my child is in a high-risk group. Should I continue to vaccinate my child in this situation? If so, how should it be done, how many shots are needed, and should I choose domestic or imported vaccines, and what dosage should be used? Thank you!
Answer
In this case, the child needs to be re-vaccinated with the Hepatitis B vaccine. It is recommended to use domestic vaccines and, in addition to treating pediatric liver diseases, consult with experts and maintain communication with your doctor. In terms of diet, keep it light and engage in more outdoor activities. Also, choose a top-tier hospital for treatment to achieve good results.
