Question
How long do baby vaccines take to take effect?
Answer
Newborns should first receive the hepatitis B vaccine, ideally within 24 hours of birth. After that, they will generally need to be vaccinated monthly, with different vaccines requiring different vaccination times. When you first receive the vaccine, you will be given a vaccination record that details when and which vaccine to receive. Follow the schedule on the record. Each vaccine is designed to prevent a specific disease, such as the hepatitis B vaccine, which can prevent the occurrence of hepatitis after injection.
