When is it Suitable for Babies to Receive the Hepatitis B Vaccine?

Question

At what age is it appropriate for a child to receive the Hepatitis B vaccine?

Answer

The Hepatitis B immune globulin can be injected within 12 hours of a baby’s birth, along with the Hepatitis B vaccine at different sites. Subsequent vaccinations should be administered at 1 and 6 months, which will give the child a 90% chance of not being affected by the disease! Precautionary advice: Pay attention to dietary isolation in daily life. Your wife suggests checking for hepatitis antibodies; if they are negative, it is recommended to receive the Hepatitis B vaccine for prevention.
