Risk of Infection for Children Born to Non-Active HBsAg Carriers

Question

Will children born to non-active HBsAg carriers be infected with the virus?

Answer

Hello, for individuals who are non-active HBsAg carriers, the risk of their children contracting the virus is actually quite low. By administering hepatitis B immunoglobulin within 24 hours after the baby’s birth and following the 0-1-6 vaccination schedule for the hepatitis B vaccine, infection can be effectively prevented. Wishing you good health!
