Hepatitis B vaccination recommendations

Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for all infants at birth, with additional doses over the first few months of life, to protect against the chronic liver infection that can cause serious health issues. It's also advised for unvaccinated children, adolescents, healthcare workers, and people at higher risk of exposure, such as those with multiple sexual partners or certain medical conditions. The vaccine is safe and effective, typically given as a series of three or four shots over several months, providing long-term protection against hepatitis B virus infection.
