Which vaccination may be administered if exposed to Hepatitis B?

If an individual has been exposed to Hepatitis B, the appropriate response is to administer the Hepatitis B vaccine. This vaccination is crucial because it helps to protect against the Hepatitis B virus, which can lead to severe liver infections, chronic liver disease, and even liver cancer.

In the case of exposure, post-exposure prophylaxis often includes the administration of the Hepatitis B vaccine, and in some situations, it may also include Hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG), particularly if the person has never been vaccinated or only partially vaccinated. The vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies that can help to prevent the virus from taking hold in the body.

The other options represent vaccines that do not provide protection against Hepatitis B. Tuberculosis vaccinations are unrelated to Hepatitis B exposure, and Hepatitis C does not have a vaccine available, making these options inappropriate choices in this context.
