Vaccine specific training resources for registered healthcare practitioners relating to the Neonatal selective immunisation programme for babies at risk of hepatitis B
Babies born to mothers infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or who have had acute hepatitis B during pregnancy are at risk of becoming infected with HBV . The objective of the selective neonatal hepatitis B immunisation programme is to provide post exposure immunisation to infants born to pregnant women living with HBV, to prevent mother to child transmission at or around the time of birth​​.
Please note: These educational resources continue to be updated as required to support this programme but do not replace the clinical judgement of practitioners. Practitioners should refer to the UKHSA Green Book Chapter when administering the vaccine.
