Hepatitis B virus

Hepatitis B is caused by infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV), which is a very dangerous virus. If infected and left untreated, it can lead to chronic inflammation, liver failure, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. It can be transmitted through childbirth, contact with the blood or open wounds of an infected person, sexual intercourse with an infected person, and sharing sharp tools or personal items, such as needles, razors, or toothbrushes.

Hepatitis B vaccine

It can be called the first cancer vaccine because it can help prevent liver cancer, which is caused by the hepatitis B virus, which is the cause of liver cancer in 80% of cases and is the second leading cause of death from all cancers.
The hepatitis B vaccine consists of a protein from the surface of the virus (HBsAg) that does not cause hepatitis B infection, but stimulates immunity in the body. It can be injected from newborns, injected like adults, a total of 3 injections, 1 month after the first injection, the second injection, and the third injection 5 months after the second injection.
When the hepatitis B vaccine is fully vaccinated, most people find that the body can build immunity by up to 97% and can prevent infection for life. However, about 1-2 months after receiving the 3 injections, a blood test should be done to confirm immunity to the hepatitis B virus. If there is still no immunity, an additional vaccination should be given as advised by a doctor.

Who should be vaccinated against hepatitis B?

Newborns, children, and adolescents who were not vaccinated at birth
People who are in close contact with patients with hepatitis B, medical personnel, and people who work in hospitals
Patients with chronic liver disease
Patients with chronic kidney disease who are receiving dialysis
Patients who receive blood frequently
People who use intravenous drugs
People who have to travel to areas where the disease is prevalent
People who are at risk of the disease due to risk factors related to sexual behavior, such as homosexuality, having multiple partners

Since each type of hepatitis is caused by a different virus, vaccination against each strain of hepatitis can only protect against the strain of the virus that was injected. Therefore, if it is necessary to be vaccinated against a specific type of hepatitis, the correct type of vaccine should be specified. Currently, there is a hepatitis A vaccine and a hepatitis B vaccine combined in the same injection. You can ask for more information from the doctor or hospital where you want to get vaccinated.
