When and how should the hepatitis vaccine be taken?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
As soon as eligible: The hepatitis a and b vaccines are very good vaccines, in that they are very safe and provide good protection against a couple of serious liver diseases. People should get the vaccines as soon as they are eligible, which is at birth for hepb vaccine and at about 18 months for hepa vaccine.

These vaccines are: Wildly effective and are recommended strongly. Specific recommendations for their administration can be found on the cdc website, along with recommendations for other childhood immunizations. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/child-adolescent.html cheers.
