Patient's question:
The child has received 3 doses of the hepatitis B vaccine and the hepatitis B surface antibody test result is 1.594. The doctor who administered the vaccine said that only a very small amount of antibodies were produced and that an additional booster shot can be given. Is that correct?Doctor's answer:
According to your test results, your child has completed the full course of three hepatitis B vaccine injections, but the level of hepatitis B surface antibody produced is relatively low. The doctor recommends boosting with an additional hepatitis B vaccine, and this advice is correct. In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis B, patient friends should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can the patient's immunity and the belief to combat the disease be reduced. At the same time, it is important to pay close attention to personal dietary care and monitor changes in symptoms, believing that this will definitely drive hepatitis B away.
