hepatitis b vaccination to new born
Dear sir / madam,
My father had been diagnosed with chronic hepatitis but all other members are negative and got vaccinated.
Recently I have been blessed with a girl child, she is three month old . She have been vaccinated for hepatitis b, given two doses. Now I have brought my child to my hometown where she will live with my father. Due to some problem she is being fed with milk powder. So is it necessary to keep her away from my father till this dose? As she is being fed by milk powder instead of mothers milk, so immunity will be low. So would like to know is it safe to keep her with my father. She will not have contact with my father frequently but occasionally.
Waiting for your replies.

Hello,
For hepatitis B, the modes of transmission are unprotected sexual intercourse with infected person, using needles or syringes which have been used by an infected person , blood transfusion of infected person or from mother to fetus. So transmission of hepatitis B other than these routes is less likely.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
