Patient's question:
March 2012Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that pregnant women receive the hepatitis B high-efficiency immune globulin in the last trimester of pregnancy (7th, 8th, and 9th months). After birth, the infant should receive the first dose of hepatitis B high-efficiency immune globulin and 30 micrograms of hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours. Subsequently, the infant should also receive hepatitis B high-efficiency immune globulin in the 2nd and 3rd months, and a 30-microgram dose of hepatitis B vaccine in the 2nd and 6th months. Generally, this approach maximizes the likelihood of preventing the transmission of hepatitis B to the child.
