Hepatitis B vaccine
- Hepatitis B vaccine is an intramuscular injection that protects against hepatitis B virus (HBV), which can cause chronic liver disease or cancer in later life.
- HBV can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy or delivery, or through contact with infected blood or body fluids.
- The vaccine is given in three doses: the first dose within 24 hours of birth; the second dose at 1 month of age; and the third dose at 6 months of age.
- The procedure for administering hepatitis B vaccine is similar to that of vitamin K injection, except that it uses a different syringe (0.5 ml), needle (23-gauge) and injection site (anterolateral aspect of upper thigh).
