Hepatitis B Vaccination for Lower Sixth Formers

[Malaysia Students]

Hepatitis B Vaccination for Teenagers Programme is a special programme
launched by Malaysian Ministry of Health for teenagers who were born
before 1989. Our government has started immunizing all the babies born
in 1989 onwards with Hepatitis B vaccination in order to protect them
from Hepatitis B. So, babies born before 1989 including me have no
Hepatitis B immunization in our bodies, except those who have
inoculated through clinic with a pay of more than RM100.

For your general knowledge, hepatitis is a disease of the liver that
causes fever and makes your skin yellow. There are several types of
hepatitis: Hepatitis A, which is less severe, and Hepatitis B and C
which are much more serious. Realising the fatality of this deadly
disease, Malaysian government through the Ministry of Health has
decided to extend the vaccination to the teenagers born before 1989 for
free.
