Patient's question:
I am pregnant and have hepatitis B with a positive. Do I need to get shots during pregnancy? I got it when I was 11 years old, and it hasn't flared up in all these years.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your situation falls under the category of carrying the hepatitis B virus during pregnancy, and you want to know how to prevent transmission to the baby. In fact, currently, vaccination during pregnancy is not necessary.Recommendation: It is currently recommended to administer the hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immune globulin within 24 hours of the baby's birth to achieve the goal of isolating the virus and preventing transmission. We hope you do not feel stressed.
