Patient's question:
When is it necessary to get vaccinated?2. If I give birth naturally, is the risk of transmission higher?
3. How can I avoid infection?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, hepatitis B is contagious, and the baby has a risk of infection during delivery. However, there are protective measures available.Guidelines:
You can immediately administer hepatitis B immune globulin within 12 hours after the baby is born, while also injecting the hepatitis B vaccine at different sites. Subsequently, the baby should receive hepatitis B vaccinations at 1 and 6 months. This will greatly reduce the likelihood of the baby being affected by your condition, with a 90% chance of being unaffected!
