HEPATITIS B

How can you protect yourself?
The best and most effective way to prevent infection from hepatitis B is vaccination, which forms immunity for an average of 20-30 years, and sometimes for life. You can be vaccinated against hepatitis B at any age. 
Who should be vaccinated and when?
1. Children - on the first day of life and further according to the schedule of preventive vaccinations
2. Children and adolescents under 18 who have not received the vaccine at an earlier age
3. All adults who have not been vaccinated.
In the early 1980s, vaccination against hepatitis B was recommended in Ukraine, which was advised to be given to a child at birth. Since 2000, this vaccination has been mandatory in accordance with the National Calendar of Preventive Vaccinations of Ukraine, namely all children at birth should receive the hepatitis B vaccine - within 24 hours after birth. Therefore, in the future, it is necessary to introduce a second dose at 2 months and the third dose at 6 months to complete the vaccination series and form an immunity.
In case of infection, it is mandatory to seek medical help from a specialist!!!
