About Hepatitis B Vaccinations

When infected with the hepatitis B virus, it becomes acute hepatitis and may recover as it is, or it may become chronic hepatitis. Some fulminant hepatitis can lead to severe symptoms to death.
In addition, the virus lurks in the liver without being clarified as a symptom, and may become chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc. over the years. It is known that the younger the age, the milder the symptoms of acute hepatitis are mild or less obvious, but the more likely to take the form of persistent infection in which the virus lurks.
Infection occurs when a newborn born from a hepatitis virus (HBsAg)-positive mother, a person who is directly exposed to hepatitis virus-positive blood or body fluid, or sexual contact with hepatitis virus-positive persons.
