Question
If a pregnant woman is diagnosed with Hepatitis B surface antigen+ , will it affect the child?
Answer
Pregnant women infected with Hepatitis B surface antigen+ can receive hepatitis B immune globulin injections monthly starting from the third month of pregnancy. The newborn should receive a double dose of the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth, followed by booster shots at one month and six months, which can effectively protect the newborn. If both the hepatitis B vaccine and immune globulin are administered simultaneously at birth, the protection rate can reach as high as 97.13%. Additionally, the injection of immune globulin for the mother starting from the third month of pregnancy further enhances the protective effect.
