Question

If a pregnant woman discovers that her partner has hepatitis B with the the triple therapy , how can she reduce the probability of her child contracting Hepatitis B?

Answer

After birth, the newborn should receive an intramuscular injection of one dose of hepatitis B immunoglobulin as soon as possible, within 48 hours, and then receive another injection two weeks later. At the same time, the newborn should receive the hepatitis B vaccine as early as possible within 24 hours, following the “0, 1, 6” schedule. This approach can significantly enhance the protection rate against Hepatitis B transmission for newborns, typically reaching 70%-90%, and even up to over 95%, thereby ensuring the health of the newborn.
