Can patients with minor positive hepatitis B receive the H1N1 influenza vaccine?

Patient's question:

I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up, and they said it was liver disease. They asked me to get a shot. Can someone with hepatitis B minor positive (HBeAg negative) get the H1N1 influenza vaccine?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with hepatitis B minor positive can receive the H1N1 influenza vaccine, as this vaccine will never affect hepatitis patients. However, after receiving the vaccine, it is essential to pay close attention and monitor for any recurrence of fever, as any vaccine can cause a temporary fever. Do not be overly concerned, as taking some fever-reducing and pain-relieving medication can alleviate the symptoms. Generally, everything is fine.
