How many shots does a baby born to a mother with hepatitis B get in total, and what is the difference compared to a baby born to a mother without hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
Babies born to mothers with minor hepatitis B (HBsAg positive) and healthy mothers both need to be vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine. The children should receive the vaccine within 24 hours after birth, at 2 weeks, and at 6 months. The difference is that mothers with minor hepatitis B need to receive a dose of high-titer hepatitis B immune globulin within 24 hours after birth and within 2 weeks. For patients, if the hepatitis B condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of hepatitis B. Additionally, patients need to maintain a proper diet and stay in a good mood. The answers to the above questions can help everyone.
