what stupid hospital they should make vaccine to all family and people in contact with the infected

anyway now just make all hbv markers, hbvdna pcr, alt/ast, make healthy life and wait for your immune system to clear the virus.90% clear by 6 months, 10% cronic, 1% fulminant hbv.
just make sure you are not in the 1% group by checking liver function, look for an expert liver specialist for monitoring results.

absolutely all people in close contact with you must be vaccinated as soon as possible

hbv takes from a couple of weeks to more than 6 months to appear after infection and you get even get it by body fluids if hbvdna is very high, usually from babies and children in immune tollerant phase

make all hbv markers as indicated in medhelth pages especially hbvdna pcr
