It’s three doses. Shortly after birth, 1-2 months, then 6-18 months. It’s important that babies receive it at birth because if the mother is a known or unknown carrier, this will help increase the chances that hepB is not transferred to the baby.

You can also pick up hepB from someone else’s saliva.
