Question 4

What is the difference between hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin?

Accepted Answer

The hepatitis B vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and also it provides long-term protection against the virus. On the other hand, hepatitis B immunoglobulin contains antibodies that act against HBV and it is given when immediate protection against the virus is needed.
