Patient's question:
Should children still receive the hepatitis B vaccination in this condition? This situation has persisted for some time, and they are hesitant to give medication. Please provide some advice from the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Your child received the hepatitis B vaccine at birth. Currently, the surface antibody is weakly positive and the core antibody is positive, indicating some resistance to hepatitis B. However, the weakly positive surface antibody suggests insufficient resistance, and booster vaccination is recommended. Newborns must receive vitamin K injections after birth to prevent bleeding issues. Vitamin K is not a vaccine but is essential for injection and should not be questioned. As for other vaccinations, the timing should follow the recommended immunization schedule by the disease control center.
