Patient's question:
The baby is just 31 days old today. I went to the community health service center to get the second dose of the hepatitis B vaccine. The doctor said there are three types of vaccines available: one is free, one is domestically produced, and one is the imported Yikexin. I chose Yikexin.The nurse gave the baby a shot on the arm. After coming home and reading the instructions, I noticed that the vaccination method is written as, "Adults and children should be vaccinated in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm, while newborns, infants, and young children should be vaccinated on the front and lateral side of the thigh." According to this, the baby should have been vaccinated on the front and lateral side of the thigh, right? Does it matter if it was given on the arm instead?
Additionally, the baby received the first dose at the hospital where it was born, but I don’t know what type it was. Now they are giving Yikexin.
