Patient's question:
After the child is born, will they still be infected with hepatitis B even if they receive the hepatitis B vaccine? The mother has not been tested, and the father has not undergone a physical examination.Doctor's answer:
Vaccination and having antibodies are two different things. Even if parents have hepatitis B, casual contact generally does not transmit the virus. Advice: It is recommended to check if the child has antibodies. If not, get vaccinated again until antibodies are present. Hope this helps.
