Patient's question:
After receiving the hepatitis B immune globulin, the community asked me to get the hepatitis B vaccine, which is scheduled for 15 days later. Will there be any conflict or impact with the hepatitis B "cut-off shot"? Can hepatitis B be vaccinated?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B immune globulin is active immunity, while hepatitis B vaccine constitutes passive immunity. Generally, newborns are immediately administered hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B vaccine after birth. If the mother's blood does not come into contact with the fetus's blood, there will be no re-infection. Currently, after administering the hepatitis B vaccine (0, 1, 6) and immune globulin, the success rate of prevention is very high. Additionally, during the treatment of hepatitis B patients, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. Patients must pay attention to rest, engage in appropriate activities, and avoid unnecessary injuries.
