Patient's question:
The school recommends that students be vaccinated with the influenza vaccine. I am, can I be vaccinated?Doctor's answer:
For patients with hepatitis B surface antigen-positive (), it simply indicates that they have been infected with the hepatitis B virus and are contagious. There is no conflict with getting vaccinated for the flu vaccine, and they can still get vaccinated. This is because the influenza virus and the hepatitis B virus are two completely different viruses and are not related. However, we hope you can inform the medical staff who will administer the vaccine that you are a hepatitis B surface antigen-positive patient. This way, the medical staff can take appropriate measures regarding the needles and syringes you have used and apply relevant protective measures for themselves.
