Question
Is it safe to get pregnant within a month after receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine? I received the Hepatitis B vaccine six years ago and developed antibodies, and recently got a booster shot. I want to know if this will affect pregnancy? (My spouse is a carrier of the Hepatitis B virus, and how should I handle the child’s birth?)
Answer
You can safely get pregnant after receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine. Typically, the vaccine produces antibodies in the body within twenty days or so, and especially when antibodies are already present, the generation speed is faster. It is recommended that getting vaccinated does not affect pregnancy. When the baby is born, pay attention to administering the Hepatitis B vaccine and taking appropriate measures to prevent the spread of Hepatitis B, including through blood, semen, and mother-to-child transmission, and avoid sharing needles. No other concerns are necessary.
