• Vaccination:* The most effective way to prevent hepatitis B is vaccination. The HBV vaccine is safe and effective and is recommended for all newborns as well as for those who are at high risk of infection.

Avoid sharing Needle:If you use them for sleeping or non-medical purposes, make sure they are sterile and not shared. Because even if we share these needles, germs can spread.

Ensure proper sterilization: Make sure the tattoo or piercing equipment is properly sterilized. Because these are tools that are used by many people and are not sterile, we should try to make them sterile when we do something like this.
