A member asked:
Hello, if a child is fully vaccinated for hep b, what are the chances they could get hep b from inanimate objects such as a washcloth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimal, inanimate surfaces are not recognized as likely for Hep B transmission unless used on non intact skin or mucosa, check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding hep B transmission, the virus can survive up to 7 days on contaminated surfaces.
