Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor: When the child was just born, they received a vaccine that is effective for life. There was a patient who, without our knowledge, ate food from their mouth and gave it to the child. Is there a possibility of transmission?Doctor's answer:
From your description, this situation is asking about whether the child, after receiving the vaccination, was fed by a hepatitis B patient.Guidance: It is best to avoid feeding the child in this case, as the child's immunity is weak. After vaccination, if the body does not produce antibodies, the child will not be immune to hepatitis B and remains at risk of infection. Therefore, you should avoid having others feed the child.
At the same time, you should have the child tested for the five hepatitis B markers to check if antibodies have been produced. If antibodies are present, the risk of infection is relatively low, and you can rest assured.
