A. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be transmitted from an infected person to others through blood, semen, or other body fluids. If a baby comes into contact with the blood or body fluids of a person infected with HBV, there is a risk of transmission. However, the risk can be significantly reduced through vaccination. In many countries, including the United States, routine vaccination against hepatitis B is recommended for all infants shortly after birth. This vaccination provides protection against HBV transmission and is highly effective at preventing infection when administered according to the recommended schedule. Additionally, if a mother is infected with HBV, healthcare providers may recommend additional measures to prevent transmission to the baby, such as administering hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and initiating the hepatitis B vaccine series shortly after birth. It's essential for pregnant women to undergo screening for hepatitis B to identify those who are infected and take appropriate measures to prevent transmission to their babies. If you have concerns about hepatitis B transmission or vaccination, consulting with a healthcare provider can provide personalized guidance and recommendations based on your specific situation.Hepatitis B can be easily passed from a pregnant woman with hepatitis B to her baby at birth. This can happen during a vaginal delivery or a c-section.
