Patient's question:
I have received the booster dose of the hepatitis B vaccine again. The doctor said that 5%-10% of the immediate booster injections may not produce antibodies. So if the baby doesn't produce antibodies,Doctor's answer:
Generally, if the mother has hepatitis B, the best way to prevent transmission is a cesarean section, and she should also avoid breastfeeding. If breastfeeding, it's uncertain, so it's best to get tested. Now, testing can be done during pregnancy, specifically in the 7th, 8th, and 9th months. During pregnancy, it's recommended to receive hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) shots. Within 24 hours of birth, give one dose of HBIG. Then, get vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine at months 0, 1, and 6. Use formula feeding.By following these measures, the transmission rate can be blocked with a success rate of over 99%. Have the child tested for hepatitis B with a quantitative test, which can determine if they are infected with just one check.
