Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my sister just had her baby and the doctors said she has a fungal infection and so does the baby. they are both on antibiotics. Should the baby still get the hep b vaccine before leaving the hospital or is it better to wait until his 1st well baby visit?
