Hello doctor,

Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
Hepatitis B is a virus affecting the liver in various ways. The liver is an important organ and an affected liver can hamper the lifestyle. Vaccination is essential to prevent the infection of hepatitis B. Get tested for hepatitis B and only after the negative report, get the vaccination done. It is unnecessary to get vaccinated if an individual is already infected with hepatitis B. The next doses should not be missed. After accidental exposure, it is ideal to get vaccinated within seven days. Get vaccinated sooner for maximum protection. No major side effects are noticed after vaccination.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and get your complete vaccination done.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
