加拿大国家免疫咨询委员会现在建议所有婴儿接种乙肝疫苗。该专家委员会表示，婴儿可在出生后24小时内接种，也可在两个月大时首次进行常规儿童免疫接种时接种。
The National Advisory Committee on Immunization now recommends that all infants receive vaccination against hepatitis B. The expert committee says infants can receive the shot within the first 24 hours of birth or at their first routine childhood immunization appointment at two months of age.
在加拿大，婴儿在这次就诊时会接种破伤风、白喉、百日咳（又称哮咳）和脊髓灰质炎疫苗。
Babies in Canada get their tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis — also known as whooping cough — and polio vaccinations at that visit.
乙肝是一种感染肝脏的病毒，在幼儿中很可能转为慢性，尤其是1岁以下的婴儿。
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver and has a high likelihood of becoming chronic in young children, especially infants under one year old.
包括不列颠哥伦比亚省、艾伯塔省、魁北克省、新不伦瑞克省、爱德华王子岛以及全部三个地区在内的一些省份和地区，已经在婴儿期提供乙肝疫苗接种。
Several provinces, including B.C., Alberta, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and all three territories, already give hepatitis B vaccinations in infancy.
萨斯喀彻温省、曼尼托巴省、安大略省、新斯科舍省和纽芬兰-拉布拉多省直到6年级或7年级才接种该病毒疫苗。
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland-Labrador don’t vaccinate against the virus until grades 6 or 7.
医生与肝病专家联手，在艾伯塔省更好地抗击肝炎 加拿大新增HIV感染人数上升，倡导者称多年进展面临风险 NACIS表示，加拿大乙肝患病率较低，总体估计低于2%。在某些脆弱人群中感染率更高，包括在加拿大境外乙肝流行地区出生的人。
Doctors, liver specialist team up to better fight hepatitis in Alberta New HIV infections in Canada are rising. Advocates say years of progress are at risk NACIS says the prevalence of hepatitis B in Canada is low, estimated to be below two per cent overall. The rates are higher among certain vulnerable populations, including those born outside of Canada, in regions where hepatitis B is endemic.
孕妇会接受该感染的筛查，但医疗服务提供者指出，护理方面存在缺口。The Dose 婴儿（及其他人群）应在何时接种乙肝疫苗？
Pregnant women are screened for the infection, but health providers note gaps in care exist. The Dose When should infants (and other people) get vaccinated for hepatitis B?
病毒通过血液和体液传播 乙肝通过血液和体液传播。据加拿大公共卫生局支持的HIV和肝炎信息平台CATIE介绍，该病毒可在分娩时或分娩后获得，也可通过接触可能带有血迹的物品（如指甲剪）而感染。
Virus spreads through blood, bodily fluids Hepatitis B is spread through blood and bodily fluids. According to the HIV and hepatitis information platform CATIE, which is supported by the Public Health Agency of Canada, the virus can be acquired during or after childbirth and through contact with items that may contain traces of blood, such as nail clippers.
它不会通过日常接触传播，例如与感染者拥抱、接吻、触摸或共用餐具。
It is not spread by casual contact, such as through hugging, kissing, touching or sharing utensils with someone who is infected.
加拿大国家免疫咨询委员会（NACI）表示，在生命早期提供保护的疫苗接种策略“预计将通过确保所有儿童在慢性感染风险最高的时期得到保护来促进健康公平”。
NACI says a vaccination strategy that provides protection in early life "is expected to promote health equity by ensuring that all children are protected during the period of greatest vulnerability to chronic infection."
美国疾控中心专家小组投票决定停止为婴儿接种乙肝疫苗，此举被称为“不负责任”。NACI的指南指出：“各辖区需要时间来过渡到为所有婴儿提供免疫接种的最佳方案。”并指出，该委员会已与各省协商，以确定改用新的统一接种时间表的可行性。
CDC panel vote to stop hep B vaccine for babies called 'irresponsible' "It will take time for jurisdictions to transition towards optimal programs to offer immunization to all infants," the NACI guidance says, noting that it consulted with the provinces to determine the feasibility of changing to a new, uniform schedule.
“在过渡期间继续为较大儿童提供疫苗将确保持续的保护，而且加拿大所有乙肝（HB）疫苗接种计划自首次推出以来都已证明能够减少疾病。”加拿大公共卫生局表示，未经治疗的慢性乙型肝炎可导致肝硬化或肝癌。
"Continuing to offer vaccine to older children during the transition will ensure continued protection, and all of the Canadian HB (hepatitis B) vaccine programs have been shown to reduce disease since they were first introduced." Untreated chronic hepatitis B can lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada.
