It was estimated that 400 million people were infected with viral hepatitis B, and 6 and about 10 million are newly infected every year.1 The World Health Organization (WHO) projected that 2 to 3 million deaths can be avoided every year through immunization.2 Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection was the commonest cause of hepatocellular carcinoma.3 Viral hepatitis was mostly transmitted through the mother-to-child mode.4 The risk of transmitting HBV from the mothers to the newborns accounted approximately 12% when mothers have a high hepatitis B viral load.5 The prevalence of HBV varied by geographical areas, the places of the delivery, the residence, the affluence, and the ethnicity.5
