How does the Hepatitis B vaccine protect my child?
The Hepatitis B vaccine helps your child's immune system build a defense against the Hepatitis B virus, preventing serious liver infections and ensuring long-term health protection.
Understanding the Hepatitis B Vaccine for Children
The Hepatitis B vaccine is crucial for safeguarding your child's health. It works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), which is known to cause severe liver infections. By doing so, the vaccine provides your child with a strong defense against the virus.
Why is it Important?
Hepatitis B can lead to chronic liver conditions, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. Vaccinating your child not only protects them from these serious health issues but also helps in controlling the spread of the virus within the community.
Vaccination Schedule
The vaccine is administered in three doses:
- First dose: At birth
- Second dose: Between 1-2 months of age
- Third dose: Between 6-18 months of age
Protection starts after the first dose, with full immunity achieved after completing the series.
