How many hepatitis B vaccine shots does a baby need?

Patient's question:

Mom is a hepatitis B carrier. The baby received a shot of hepatitis B immune globulin at birth. Do they need to get the third shot at one month?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! I am glad to explain your question. According to your description, you are an HBV carrier. After the baby is born, a single dose of hepatitis B immune globulin can be administered immediately. However, three doses of the hepatitis B vaccine need to be administered on schedule to complete the entire automatic immune process, namely: birth, one month, and six months. I hope my explanation can assist you, and wish your little one a healthy and joyful transformation!
In addition to treating hepatitis B, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
