About This Service
Hepatitis B is a disease caused by the hepatitis B virus. It is transmitted through contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected person through open wounds on the skin, sharing personal items contaminated with blood or bodily fluids such as razors or toothbrushes, sexual contact, sharing needles, and from mother to child. If the body cannot eliminate the virus, the person becomes a carrier of the disease, increasing the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Symptoms that may indicate hepatitis B:
Fever, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). If the body cannot eliminate the virus, the person becomes a carrier, in addition to spreading the infection to others, and increasing the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Hepatitis B Vaccine:
Made from the outer protein of the hepatitis B virus, it is administered intramuscularly in 3 doses at 0, 1, and 6 months.
Those who should receive the hepatitis B vaccine:
Those who do not yet have immunity to hepatitis B.
All newborns in Thailand, including children who have never received this vaccine before.
Adults at risk of exposure include spouses of hepatitis B carriers, those requiring frequent blood transfusions, dialysis patients, healthcare workers, drug users, men who have sex with men, and those with chronic liver or kidney disease.
Travelers planning to visit countries with high prevalence of the disease should also be aware of this risk.
For children over 10 years of age and adults, a blood test should be performed before vaccination to check for pre-existing immunity, as some may have already had a natural immunity due to previous infection.
Those who should refrain from receiving the hepatitis B vaccine include:
Individuals with a history of allergic reactions to the hepatitis B vaccine or to any of its components.
Those with fever or acute illness should postpone vaccination until they recover.
Mild colds without fever are acceptable for vaccination.
