    Hepatitis B vaccine is used to provide passive immunization for newborns against hepatitis B virus. For infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers, the vaccine is given as three doses - the first within 12 hours of birth, the second at 1 month, and the third at 6 months. For infants born to HBsAg-negative mothers, the first dose is given at birth, the second at 1-2 months, and the third at 6-18 months. Common side effects are soreness at the injection site and occasional erythema, swelling, warmth or low-grade fever. The vaccine should be administered as directed and monitored for adverse reactions.
