Patient's question:
When the baby was born, they received the hepatitis B vaccine. Now, there is a hepatitis B patient in the household. I'm wondering if daily contact would infect the baby, for example, when eating?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, the baby has been vaccinated against hepatitis B promptly after birth, which is very good. As long as the hepatitis B vaccine is administered on schedule, antibodies are generally produced.Advice: Hepatitis B is primarily transmitted through blood, sexual contact, and mother-to-child transmission. It is not spread through daily contact. Therefore, even if there is a hepatitis B patient in the family, as long as there is no contact with the aforementioned routes, the baby will not be infected.
