1 Answer

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy7 months ago

A. If the Hepatitis B (HEP B) vaccine was not given to your baby within 24 hours of birth, it can still be administered later. The Hepatitis B vaccine is typically given in 3 doses: First Dose: Ideally given at birth or within the first 24 hours. Second Dose: Given at 1-2 months of age. Third Dose: Given at 6-18 months of age. Since your baby missed the first dose at birth, it is recommended to give the first dose as soon as possible, even if the baby is older, and follow the remaining schedule for the subsequent doses. What to do: Contact your pediatrician for guidance on when to give the first dose and ensure the rest of the vaccination schedule is followed. Depending on your child's health and vaccination history, the doctor may also discuss any special considerations or additional tests if necessary. The Hepatitis B vaccine is important for preventing hepatitis B infection, so it’s essential to catch up on the missed dose promptly.
