Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had much appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They asked me to get a shot. Can the hepatitis B vaccine be administered now?Doctor's answer:
Although there have been vaccine incidents in the past, the problematic vaccines have all been recalled. If the local health and epidemic prevention department has substandard vaccines, they would have already been resolved and abandoned. Therefore, you do not need to worry. The child needs to be vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine. The child is already two years old. If you are serious about getting the vaccine, it is best to have a thorough hepatitis B five-item test to predict the results and then consider the vaccination issue. It is recommended to go to the hospital to see a pediatrician. After being diagnosed by the pediatrician, some tests should be conducted, and the vaccination issue should be considered based on the test results. As long as the hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody are negative, the vaccination can be administered on schedule.
