What age is hepatitis b vaccine given?
My baby is due next month, and I'm making a list of all the vaccinations. My elder sister mentioned the Hepatitis B vaccine. At what age is the Hepatitis B vaccine usually given to infants?

I am a bit confused, is this vaccine only given to newborn babies? Can adults also take the Hepatitis B vaccine if they missed it during childhood?

Humare yahan toh bacha paida hote hi hospital wale pehla teeka Hepatitis B ka laga dete hain. Baaki do khurak baad mein samay par lagwani hoti hai bache ko surakshit rakhne ke liye.

It is normally started right at birth, with booster doses in the first few months. Keeping up with vaccinations is just as important as keeping your body fit and eating clean.

Yes, it is routinely given at birth, and then followed up at 6 and 14 weeks as per the standard vaccination chart.

The first dose is administered within 24 hours of birth. If you are an adult in a high-risk profession like healthcare, you can get vaccinated anytime after consulting your doctor.
