My child wants to get the hepatitis B vaccine. What tests are needed?

Patient's question:

Son has been physically weak since birth, always getting sick one moment and then another. Oh, the pain of his illness is in my heart. Now that the child has grown older, his health has improved a bit compared to before. We have also paid extra attention to his well-being. Recently, we have been contemplating when to take him to get the hepatitis B vaccine.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you need to get the hepatitis B vaccine, you can first get a hepatitis B five-item test. If you already have hepatitis B surface antibodies, you don't need to get the hepatitis B vaccine. If not, you should also check if you are infected with the hepatitis B virus. It is recommended to check the hepatitis B five items on an empty stomach in the morning. If all five items are negative, you can get the hepatitis B vaccine.
