乙肝疫苗要普及宣传


首先看看慢性肝炎在世界分布,来自www.gov.org。中国是乙肝多发区,感染的抓紧治疗,没有感染注意赶紧打疫苗。以下引用 http://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/B/bFAQ.htm#overview

Who should get vaccinated against hepatitis B?Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for:
  • All infants, starting with the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine at birth
  • All children and adolescents younger than 19 years of age who have not been vaccinated
  • People whose sex partners have hepatitis B
  • Sexually active persons who are not in a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship.
  • Persons seeking evaluation or treatment for a sexually transmitted disease
  • Men who have sexual contact with other men
  • People who share needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment
  • People who have close household contact with someone infected with the hepatitis B virus
  • Healthcare and public safety workers at risk for exposure to blood or blood-contaminated body fluids on the job
  • People with end-stage renal disease, including predialysis, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and home dialysis patients
  • Residents and staff of facilities for developmentally disabled persons
  • Travelers to regions with moderate or high rates of hepatitis B
  • People with chronic liver disease
  • People with HIV infection
  • Anyone who wishes to be protected from hepatitis B virus infection
Is the hepatitis B vaccine recommended before international travel?

The risk for hepatitis B virus infection in international travelers is generally low, although people traveling to certain countries are at risk. Travelers to regions with moderate or high rates of hepatitis B should get the hepatitis B vaccine.

How is the hepatitis B vaccine series given?

The hepatitis B vaccine is usually given as a series of 3 or 4 shots over a 6-month period.

现在各大医院都应该有,价格应该在80-300rmb, 在美国如果有医保,应该都是免费的。通常3次,0,1月后,6月后距离第一次。
