How much is the dose of the hepatitis B vaccine?

Patient's question:

The child is eight years old and has no antibodies. The health station vaccinated them according to the 0, 1, 6 schedule. The second dose was 20 micrograms. They said that the second and third doses would also be 20 micrograms each, as the station only has this dosage available. Is this dosage too low? We are from Henan.

Doctor's answer:

During the time a child is sick, vaccinations cannot be administered. It is acceptable to postpone them. Once the child's cold symptoms improve and their body shows no signs of illness, they can catch up on the vaccinations. If the dosage is large, half or two-thirds of it can be used. The doctor will determine the appropriate amount based on the child's condition, so you don't need to worry about this.
In addition, during the treatment for hepatitis B, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery from hepatitis B.
