Can I get the hepatitis B vaccine while I am menstruating?

We know that there are many things you can't do during your menstrual period, the most obvious one is you can't eat hot peppers or drink cold drinks, which is the basic rule for all girls during their menstrual period. However, some girls have to face a lot of problems during their menstrual period.

According to the schedule, I should get the last shot of hepatitis B vaccine tomorrow, but now I am in my menstrual period, so I want to ask the experts what are the side effects of the recent hepatitis B vaccine? Can I get the hepatitis B vaccine during my menstrual period?

Whether the hepatitis B vaccine can be given during menstruation mainly depends on the normal health status of the hepatitis B vaccine recipient. Under normal circumstances (normal menstrual periods are not regular, or there are basically no headaches, nausea, limb weakness, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, etc.), women getting the hepatitis B vaccine during menstruation will not directly affect the effectiveness of the hepatitis B vaccine. In other words, under normal circumstances, women getting the hepatitis B vaccine during menstruation will not affect the production of hepatitis B antibodies, and the hepatitis B vaccine can be injected during menstruation.

However, if the hepatitis B vaccine recipients often experience symptoms such as headaches, nausea, weakness in the limbs, abdominal distension and pain during their normal menstrual period, then in order to prevent obvious adverse reactions after the hepatitis B vaccine (aggravation of the above conditions), it is recommended that the hepatitis B vaccine recipients wait for a few days and go to the hospital or health and epidemic prevention station to get a booster shot of the hepatitis B vaccine after the menstrual period. However, the time should not exceed 7 days of the required time.

However, if the menstrual period has passed but there is a fever (body temperature exceeds 37.5℃ during ovulation), or severe diarrhea or persistent diarrhea, it is not suitable for the hepatitis B vaccine. The vaccination needs to be postponed. The actual time should be consulted with the doctor of the local hospital outpatient department or health and epidemic prevention station.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the hepatitis B vaccine recipient does not often experience headaches, nausea, weakness in the limbs, abdominal distension and pain during menstruation, women can also get the hepatitis B vaccine during menstruation. However, if the above symptoms often occur during menstruation, it is recommended to go to the hospital or health and epidemic prevention station for a booster shot after the menstrual period.
