Can you get the hepatitis B antibody shot during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I got the hepatitis B antibody shot last month, but I am now almost four weeks pregnant and need to get the second dose of the antibody. Can I get the antibody shot? Does getting the antibody shot during pregnancy affect the baby?

Doctor's answer:

From the information you provided, it seems you are preparing to receive the hepatitis B immune globulin. I don't know why you need to take this medication. If you have hepatitis B, it would indeed be necessary to receive it for mother-to-child transmission prevention, but this is typically used in the later stages of pregnancy. Advice: If you are preparing to receive the hepatitis B vaccine, there should be no major issues. Wishing you health and happiness. Doctor's inquiry:
