This would depend on the baseline risk of maternal hepatitis B-infections.

 

We do not give HB-Ig and/or HB-vaccines in this situation. But, we have a good understanding of whom needs HB-Ig/vaccines. The maternity health care checks serologies and practically all pregnant women in Sweden visit such maternity health centers.

 

Thanks, any other suggestions??

I would suggest you can do the HIV and Hep B screening for the mother at admission and if you get the results in 24-48 hours, you can use that to make your decision.
