POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. The Hepatitis B vaccine is typically recommended for newborns, with the first dose ideally administered within 24 to 48 hours of birth. This early vaccination helps protect the baby from contracting Hepatitis B, especially if the mother is a carrier of the virus or if there are other risk factors.
While it is highly recommended to give the vaccine within this time frame, the exact timing can vary depending on the healthcare provider's recommendations and the baby's health. If for any reason the vaccine isn't given within the first 48 hours, it can still be administered later, and your healthcare provider will guide you on the best course of action.
