hepatitis B vaccination schedule

The hepatitis B vaccination schedule typically involves three doses. The first dose is given at birth, ideally within 24 hours. The second dose is administered one to two months later, and the third dose is given six to 18 months after the first dose. This series helps build strong protection against hepatitis B, a virus that can cause serious liver disease. It's important for infants, children, and adults at risk to follow this schedule to ensure effective immunity. Always consult with a healthcare provider for the best vaccination plan tailored to individual needs.
