Patient's question:
Newborn children who have received the vaccine need to get how many shots? ``When to get vaccinated? /??????????????????/.....................Doctor's answer:
Hello, our country has included the hepatitis B vaccine in the children's immunization program, providing free hepatitis B vaccination for all newborns. After receiving the full course of hepatitis B vaccination, almost all children can be protected, and the effectiveness is long-lasting. Newborns should receive three doses of the hepatitis B vaccine according to the 0, 1, and 6-month schedule immediately after birth. Since pregnant women carrying the hepatitis B virus may transmit the virus to newborns during pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum, the hepatitis B vaccination program places greater emphasis on the timeliness of the first dose—newborns should receive the first dose within 24 hours of birth. If the pregnant woman is confirmed to be a hepatitis B carrier, the earlier the newborn receives the vaccination, the better, and they should also receive hepatitis B immune globulin to enhance the effectiveness of blocking viral transmission.
