Question
Will my child still get infected with Hepatitis B even after receiving three doses of the vaccine?
Answer
It is recommended that you take your child to get tested for the Hepatitis B surface antibodies to ensure they have sufficient immunity. Hepatitis B antibodies can decrease over time, especially in children. The the triple therapy is the most infectious type of Hepatitis B, and there is a possibility of infection through shared meals with patients. However, if the child has enough antibodies, the risk of infection can be reduced. But this is not an absolute guarantee; it is advisable for patients to use separate utensils when eating. Additionally, please update the patient’s condition to understand their liver function and the results of their viral DNA test for more accurate consultation.
