Question
How should newborns be decided on whether to receive vaccinations, especially the hepatitis B virus vaccine?
Answer
Newborns should complete the full course of hepatitis B vaccination with three doses, following the schedule at 0, 1, and 6 months of age. If the mother is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus, it is important to vaccinate the newborn as soon as possible and also administer hepatitis B immunoglobulin to enhance the effectiveness of blocking viral transmission.
