When is the time to get the hepatitis B vaccine?

Patient's question:

I am an HBV carrier. My baby received the immune globulin 48 hours after birth. When should the HBV vaccine be administered?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is recommended to get vaccinated within 24 hours after birth, but it doesn't mean it's ineffective if it's delayed. It just means the probability of infection is slightly higher. In addition to medication for liver disease treatment, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
