Patient's question:
I am. My child is 68 years old this year. Should I get another hepatitis B vaccine?Doctor's answer:
Generally, children born today are routinely given the hepatitis B vaccine with anesthesia after birth. For children whose mothers have liver disease, in addition to receiving the hepatitis B vaccine with anesthesia, they should also be given immune globulin within 24 hours after birth to ensure higher safety. Once the hepatitis B vaccine is successfully administered and the hepatitis B surface antibody is obtained, the antibody can last for several years. You should first check your child for the five quantitative tests of hepatitis B, and based on the titer of the hepatitis B surface antibody, you can decide whether vaccination is necessary. The harm caused by the "three positive" condition to patients is very significant. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to dietary issues, focusing on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that patients with chronic hepatitis B can receive professional treatment.
