A member asked:
Hi im pricked with a bcg syringe of the baby whom the mother is hep. b reactive.baby has given hepig.will i become infected of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: The body fluid of the donor ( the baby) would have to contain live virus to cause infection in the recipient ( you). Would have to test the baby to know if you are at risk for infection from this exposure. Igg and hep b vaccine could help protect you.
