Patient's question:
Not ready yet, but the cold isn't serious, just a bit of a runny nose. Can you get the vaccine?Doctor's answer:
The hepatitis B vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine, where the toxicity has been reduced but the virus remains viable. When receiving the hepatitis B vaccine, it is important to avoid overexertion and other situations that may lower your immunity. In principle, the hepatitis B vaccine can be administered again. Many people receive the vaccine after reaching adulthood, but since China is a high-prevalence area for hepatitis B, delaying vaccination even by one day increases the risk of infection. It is recommended that you first seek prompt treatment for a cold to ensure a quick and complete recovery, and then visit the hospital to receive the vaccine. You can check for antibodies one month after vaccination. The harm the hepatitis B virus brings to patients is very significant. Once symptoms are detected, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly.
