From October 1, 2016, hepatitis B vaccination became a routine vaccination (vaccination based on the Immunization Act) and can be received free of charge.

We send pre-examination vote to target person at the end of the month before becoming two months after birth.

Hepatitis B has acute hepatitis and chronic hepatitis caused by infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV). Transmission routes are horizontal transmission and mother-to-child transmission (vertical transmission). Chronic hepatitis may progress to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma later. It is important to be vaccinated at the age of 0 and try to prevent it.
If you are to receive the hepatitis B vaccine to prevent mother-to-child transmission, you should receive it through health insurance, not as a routine vaccination.
