Question
How should newborns be vaccinated?
Answer
Newborns must receive the first dose of immune globulin within 24 hours of birth, followed by the second dose at 1 month, where they will also receive a 10 microgram hepatitis B vaccine at different sites. Subsequently, they should receive the second and third doses at 1 month and 6 months respectively. This approach can effectively block the transmission of most hepatitis B viruses.
