    This document provides procedures for preventing perinatal hepatitis B virus transmission at delivery. It outlines that if a mother's HBsAg status is unknown at the baby's birth, the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) should be administered within 12 hours of birth. Once the mother's HBsAg status results are available, follow-up doses of the vaccine or HBIG may be required depending on if she is positive or negative. Providers and public health departments should be notified of exposures and the mother should receive discharge instructions about completing the baby's vaccine series.
