  Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin |
  Revision Date : 15-12-2020
  |
  Approved: TC, KOH
  |
  Indication
  |
  Passive immunisation of newborns whose mothers have acute hepatitis B infection at the time of delivery or who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive.1
  |
  Action
  |
  Confers immediate passive immunity due to the injection of pre-formed antibodies.
  |
  Drug Type
  |
  Immunoglobulin.
  |
  Trade Name
  |
  Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin-VF2
  |
  Presentation
  |
  100 Unit/mL ampoule.
  Available from the blood bank.
  |
  Dosage/Interval
  |
  100 Units single dose.
  |
  Route
  |
  IM ONLY in the anterolateral thigh.
  |
  Administration
  |
  Administer as a separate injection within 12 hours after birth at the same time as the hepatitis B vaccine (should be given in the other thigh).
  Efficacy decreases > 48 hours from birth.
  DO NOT ADMINISTER IV because of the risk of serious systemic reactions.
  Record details of the vaccination in patient's Personal Health Record ("Blue Book").
  Record batch number on the medication chart.
  Record injection sites of concurrently administered vaccines to allow any local reactions to be attributed to the appropriate antigen.
  |
  Monitoring
  |
  Monitor injection site.
  Hepatitis B surface antibodies (anti-HBs) and HBsAg concentrations should be measured in infants born to mothers with chronic hepatitis B infection 3 to 12 months after completing the primary vaccine course. Testing should not be performed before 9 months of age to avoid detection of anti-HBs from hepatitis B immunoglobulin given at birth. If anti-HBs levels are adequate (≥ 10 mUnit/mL) and HBsAg is negative, then the infant is considered to be protected.
  |
  Contraindications
  |
  Severe thrombocytopenia or bleeding disorder.
  Isolated IgA deficiency.
  |
  Adverse Reactions
  |
  Local pain and tenderness at injection site.
  Systemic reactions are rare but may include urticaria, angioedema, erythema, low grade fever.
  |
  Storage
  |
  Store between 2 and 8°C. Do not freeze. Protect from light.
  |
  Special Comments
  |
  Three subsequent doses of a multivalent/combination hepatitis B vaccine should be given
  at 6 weeks, 4 months and 6 months of age, so that the infant is given a total of 4 doses of
  hepatitis B-containing vaccines. For babies born at <32 weeks gestation and/or <2000g, a
  booster dose is also given at 12 months unless serology confirms infant is protected (see
  monitoring).1
  Use cautiously in patients with thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy or bleeding disorders who
  may be at risk of haemorrhage from IM injection.
  If the mother has a known blood borne virus, clean the limbs prior to administration
  |
  Evidence summary
  |
  In a meta-analysis of three randomized trials, compared with placebo/no intervention, the combination of HepB vaccine and HBIG reduced HBV infection in infants born to HBsAg-positive women (4 versus 57 percent, relative risk [RR] 0.08, 95% CI 0.03-0.17)3
  In prospective surveillance studies of infants born to women with HBV infection who received HBIG and HepB vaccine and had postvaccination serologic testing, perinatal HBV infection occurred in <2 percent.4, 5
