1. Strengthen supervision: Departments should strengthen supervision of the production and sales of hepatitis B vaccines to ensure that product quality meets standards, and severely crack down on counterfeit and shoddy products.
2. Improve the quality of medical staff: Medical staff need to have relevant knowledge and skills, be able to correctly guide patients to vaccinate, and handle adverse reactions in a timely manner.
3. Improve the information disclosure mechanism: Departments should establish a complete information disclosure mechanism and promptly release information on hepatitis B vaccine safety issues to the public.
4. Promote scientific knowledge: Strengthen science education for the public, improve public awareness of the safety of hepatitis B vaccine, and reduce unnecessary panic and misunderstandings.
In short, the hepatitis B vaccine is a very important preventive measure, but safety issues also need to be paid attention to during use. Only by working together, medical staff and the public can ensure the safety of hepatitis B vaccination.
