Does a 5-year-old child still need the hepatitis B vaccine?

Patient's question:

Because I have hepatitis B, my daughter received several doses of the hepatitis B vaccine after she was born. The doctor said it would prevent it from being inherited. But later, I didn't continue with the vaccinations. Now my daughter is 5 years and 8 months old, should I continue with the vaccinations?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this case, it is recommended that you take your daughter to a regular hospital for an HBV five-item test. If your daughter has already developed antibodies, there is no need to receive the hepatitis B vaccine in this situation.
