Question: 1 / 1820

When should the Hepatitis B vaccine series start?

At 12 months

At 11-12 years

Within 24 hours after birth

The Hepatitis B vaccine series is recommended to be started within 24 hours after birth. This is because Hepatitis B virus can be passed from a mother to her baby during birth, making newborns at high risk for infection. Starting the vaccine series at this early stage helps to provide protection against the virus. Choices A and B are incorrect because they suggest starting the vaccine much later in life, leaving newborns vulnerable to infection. Option D is also incorrect because it does not specify starting the vaccine series within 24 hours after birth.
