Patient's question:
All symptoms: What vaccinations do newborn babies receive, what checks are done during labor and delivery Onset time and cause: Treatment status: Help desired: What vaccinations do newborn babies receiveDoctor's answer:
The hepatitis B vaccine is a vaccine used to prevent hepatitis B virus infection. Getting vaccinated against hepatitis B is the most effective way to prevent hepatitis B virus infection. After vaccination, the body develops immunity to prevent hepatitis B, clears the hepatitis B virus, and blocks infection, without harming the liver, thereby achieving the goal of preventing hepatitis B infection. Therefore, parents must promptly vaccinate their babies against hepatitis B to protect them from hepatitis B infection. Newborns should receive a dose of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine as soon as possible after birth, usually within 8 hours, via intramuscular injection in the deltoid muscle (the same for children and adults). One month later, they should receive another dose, and then another six months later. A total of three doses are given, and this schedule is called the 0, 1, 6 schedule.
