Method of administration
Intramuscularly, in the deltoid muscle region (adults and children of older age) or in the upper-upper surface of the middle thigh (newborns and young children). As an exception, patients with thrombocytopenia or other diseases of the blood coagulation system may receive the vaccine subcutaneously.Engericks' B should not be injected into the gluteus muscle or by the womb, as this will not achieve an adequate immune response.
Angeryx® B under no circumstances should not be administered intravenously.
Before use, the vial with the vaccine should be kept at room temperature for 30 minutes. Directly before use, the Angierix * B bottle should be shaken until a uniform whitish suspension is obtained. The bottle should be inspected for foreign particles and / or changes in appearance. If any of the above changes occur, the vaccine should be destroyed. As with other vaccines, the dose of the Engerix B vaccine should be taken under strictly aseptic conditions and take precautions to prevent contamination of the contents. It is necessary to use different needles to withdraw the vaccine from the vial (through a rubber stopper) and to administer the drug to the patient. The unused vaccine and the rest of the packaging materials after use must be destroyed in accordance with applicable regulations.

Vaccination schedules
Primary vaccination
In accordance with the National Calendar of preventive vaccinations in Russia, vaccination is carried out: Children under 1 year of age who are not in the Sisk group, according to the scheme 0-1-6 months (the first dose - in the first 24 hours of life, the second dose - at the age of 1 month, the third dose - at the age of 6 months); children under 1 year of pis (poured from the mother-observer HBsAg, patients with viral hepatitis 13 or who have undergone viral hepatitis B in the third trimester of pregnancy who do not have the results of testing for hepatitis B markers consuming narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances from families in which there is a carrier HBsAg or a patient with acute viral hepatitis B and chronic viral hepatitis) according to the scheme 0-1-2-12 months (the first dose in the first 24 hours of life, the second dose at the age of 1 month, the 3rd dose at the age of 2 months, the 4th dose - at the age of 12 months);
children from 1 year to 18 years, adults from 18 to 55 years old, nc grafted earlier, according to the scheme 0-1-6 months (1st dose, at the time of vaccination, 2nd dose, 1 month after the 1st vaccination, 3rd dose - 6 months after the vaccination).
- Persons aged 18 and over
In adults, in exceptional circumstances, requiring the rapid development of a preventive response to immunization, for example, going to the hyperendemic area, an emergency vaccination schedule can be applied 0-7-21 days. In applying this scheme, a fourth vaccination should be performed 12 months after the first vaccination.
- Patients with impaired renal function who are on hemodialysis (16 years and over)
The course of vaccination of patients on hemodialysis includes a fourfold administration of doubled doses (40 mcg) on the selected day, then 1-2-6 months after the first dose. The possibility of conducting serological tests after vaccination should be considered. Based on the results of serological studies, the vaccination schedule can be adjusted to provide an antibody titer equal to or greater than the protective level of 10 IU / L.
- Patients with impaired renal function who are on hemodialysis (up to 16 years, including newborns)
Can be used as a vaccination scheme 0-1-2-12 months, and according to the scheme 0-1-6 months using a dose of 10 mcg HBsAg. Based on the experience of vaccination in adults, it can be assumed that the use of doses with a higher antigen content may enhance the immune response.This should take into account the results of serological tests conducted after vaccination. Additional doses may be required to provide an antibody titer equal to or greater than the protective level of 10 IU / L.
- Persons who are accidentally at risk of infection
If a person is infected with a hepatitis B virus (eg, a prick with an infected needle), a vaccination schedule of 0-1-2-12 months is recommended. The first dose of the vaccine should be administered concomitantly with the immunoglobulin against hepatitis B, with injections being carried out in different parts of the body.
Revaccination
The need for revaccination in healthy individuals who received a full course of primary vaccination is not established.
The need for revaccination in patients with a reduced immune response and patients on hemodialysis is determined by the results of serological studies.
