Father is an hepatitis B patient, mother has antibodies, the baby born

Patient's question:

Father is an HBV carrier, mother has antibodies, the infant born received the hepatitis B vaccine but did not receive high-dose hepatitis B immune globulin. Will it inherit hepatitis B?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, this is not the case. Advice: For a fetus to be infected with hepatitis B, the mother must have a positive hepatitis B surface antibody. The male's influence is not significant, and since the female also has antibodies, there is no need to worry.
