Can babies receive the hepatitis B vaccine?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my baby is going to get the hepatitis B vaccine at the hospital tomorrow, but my baby has been bitten by mosquitoes over the past two days, and there are some red mosquito bites on the body. My friend said that if there are mosquito bites on the body, vaccination should not be given. It seems that in your baby's case, can my baby still get the hepatitis B vaccine?

Doctor's answer:

From the baby's age and the description above, it is necessary for the baby to be vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine. It is important to confirm whether the vaccination was administered within 24 hours after delivery and at 1 month and 6 months, following the recommendations for automatic immunization. If the baby has already been vaccinated according to the standard procedure, there is no need to focus on vaccination again. However, if the vaccination was not completed on time, it is necessary to focus on getting the vaccination.
