CDC – Childhood Immunization Schedule – Hepatitis B Vaccine

Minimum age at birth

Administer monovalent HepB to all newborns prior to hospital discharge.

If mother is hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive, administer HepB and 0.5 mL of hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) within 12 hours of birth.

If mother’s HBsAg status is unknown, administer HepB within 12 hours of birth. Determine the HBsAg status as soon as possible and if HBsAg-positive, administer HBIG (no later than age 1 week).

If mother is HBsAg-negative, the birth dose can be delayed, in rare cases, with a provider’s order and a copy of the mother’s negative HBsAg laboratory report in the infant’s medical record.

After the birth dose

The HepB series should be completed with either monovalent HepB or a combination vaccine containing HepB.

The second dose should be administered at age 1–2 months. The final dose should be administered no earlier than age 24 weeks.

Infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers should be tested for HBsAg and antibody to HBsAg after completion of at least 3 doses of a licensed HepB series, at age 9–18 months (generally at the next well-child visit).

4-month dose

It is permissible to administer 4 doses of HepB when combination vaccines are administered after the birth dose.

If monovalent HepB is used for doses after the birth dose, a dose at age 4 months is not needed.
