Question

What tests are needed before a child receives the Hepatitis B vaccine?

Answer

Before receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine, a child can first undergo a hepatitis two-item half test. If there is already a Hepatitis B surface antibody, there is no need for the vaccine. If all five items are negative, the Hepatitis B vaccine can be administered.
