Question
Given the poor food hygiene situation, many parents are worried about their children possibly contracting Hepatitis B and want to know if the Hepatitis B vaccine for children is now free.
Answer
The Hepatitis B vaccine is part of the national planned immunization program and is provided free of charge by the state. The first three doses of the vaccine for newborns are free, and there are also regular free booster shots during school years. If further vaccination is needed, a surface antibody test must be conducted first. If the test results show a positive, the Hepatitis B vaccine can be boosted once every three years. If all test results are negative, a “0.1.6 scheme” re-vaccination should be considered. These paid programs should be considered based on individual circumstances.
