How long does it take for newborns to produce antibodies after receiving the hepatitis B vaccine?

Patient's question:

I am 38 years old and recently 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 a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get an injection. Please ask how long it takes for newborns to develop antibodies after receiving the hepatitis B vaccine.

Doctor's answer:

If the mother is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus or a patient with hepatitis B, she should be tested while pregnant and receive the vaccination to prevent the baby from being born with this disease. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a check-up to determine if the baby has been infected with hepatitis B or has become a carrier of the virus. If either of these conditions is present, even if the vaccine is administered under anesthesia, it will not produce antibodies.
