Benefits of Hepatitis B Injection
Hepatitis B Adult Vaccine protects against infection by the hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by a virus that can spread from a mother to her newborn baby, through shared needles and equipment during drug use, through sexual contact with an infected person, during tattooing or body piercing, and through contaminated toothbrushes or razors.
Although hepatitis B can be serious, it does not always present obvious symptoms. The vaccine is administered via injection into a muscle as soon as possible after exposure to a risk, helping to prevent infection. It is recommended for all infants, children up to age 18, and adults in high-risk groups. This vaccine does not work if an individual already has hepatitis B.
Side Effects of Hepatitis B Injection
Most side effects do not require medical attention and will disappear as the body adjusts to the vaccine. Individuals should consult their doctor if side effects persist or cause concern.

How Hepatitis B Injection Works
