Answer
Hello: If the mother is not infected with HBV, the child will not be infected, so please do not worry too much. It is recommended to administer the hepatitis B vaccine to the baby within 24 hours of birth, the sooner the better. The remaining two doses also need to be administered on time. In daily life, reduce close contact with the baby before they are 6 months old and have completed the full vaccination course. This is for the baby’s health, and I hope my answer can help you.
