Patient's question:
Is the doctor available? Because I received the hepatitis B vaccine and a general health injection at the age of thirteen, and now I'm twenty-seven and have never followed up. Since the people I come into contact with may have this disease, could I get infected?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. According to your description, you received the hepatitis B vaccine at the age of 13. You should check if you have developed antibodies. Hepatitis B virus is generally spread through blood, and casual contact in daily life should not transmit it. I recommend that you go to a regular hospital to get tested for the hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody to see if you have developed antibodies. If not, you need to follow the standard procedure to get the hepatitis B vaccine again to enhance the production of hepatitis B antibodies in your body. If you have antibodies, you don't need to get the hepatitis B vaccine again. In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis B, friends with the disease should always maintain a positive attitude to face the illness.
