Hepatitis B is an infectious disease that affects the liver. It manifests itself in the form of jaundice, a general malaise, similar to ARVI. In some cases, it can be asymptomatic, for example, in children under one year.
Vaccination from hepatitis to newborns is done within twelve hours after birth. It is included in the list of mandatory vaccinations. Vaccination is repeated two more times - in a month and in six months. It helps protect a child from contracting hepatitis for several years.
Hepatitis B vaccine: complications
The effect of vaccination against hepatitis on the overall development of the body is not fully understood.
Within two days after vaccination, the same symptoms of a malaise are possible, as with other vaccinations:
- increased body temperature;
- weakness;
- aches in the joints;
- diarrhea;
- nausea or vomiting.
- rashes on the body;
- hives;
- death in single cases.
Admissible reaction of vaccination of hepatitis B in newborns is considered to be light reddening and swelling in the area of the injection.
Where is hepatitis vaccinated?
According to the rules adopted throughout the world, the hepatitis B vaccine is injected into the hip.
Schedule of vaccinations against hepatitis B
- In the first twelve hours of a child's life.
- A month after the first vaccination.
- Six months after the first vaccination.
Is an inoculation against hepatitis mandatory?
The risk of contracting hepatitis is very low. There is only one condition in which the baby can be infected - the mother is the carrier of the virus. Risk group for hepatitis B infection:
- drug addicts who inject intravenously with non-sterile syringes;
- homosexuals, because of microcracks and tearing of the anal opening tissue that arise during sexual intercourse. Thus, hepatitis is transmitted with sperm, getting into open wounds;
- constant change of sexual partners, sex without the use of contraceptives;
- in the home, through the blood;
- through sweat, saliva is transmitted very rarely.
Vaccination against hepatitis B in newborns is done to reduce the risk of the disease in later life. But it does not take into account the fact that newborns are not at risk. And the reaction to the vaccine in each child is very individual and almost unpredictable! The side effects of vaccination against hepatitis are not fully understood and are often not even documented. In most cases, it is almost impossible to link vaccination with changes in the development of a child.
To force you to vaccinate a child from hepatitis B or other infections, no one can. You can easily sign a refusal to vaccinate hepatitis even in the hospital. This will not affect the admission of the child to a kindergarten or primary school.
Vaccination against hepatitis in newborns: contraindications
The official contraindications are:
- Allergies to foods that contain baker's yeast (but how to determine this in a child who is several hours old ?!).
- ARVI.
Other unexplored factors that may lead to even a fatal outcome, no one takes into account. Vaccination against hepatitis in infants is done without taking into account the individual intolerance of the drug administered. After the government found that it was impossible to force people from the risk group to be vaccinated, it was decided to vaccinate all without "leaving the cash register", that is, immediately after birth. At a time when the mother has not yet recovered from childbirth and can not reason with reason.
Vaccination against hepatitis to newborns who are not at risk does not have any scientific justification and is beneficial only to vaccine producers and mercenary rulers, who are first in business relations.
