The standard pediatric dose of Hepatitis B vaccine is 0.5ml. Hepatitis B vaccine is administered by intra muscular injection in the antero lateral aspect of the thigh (infants) or the deltoid muscle (adults). It can safely be given at the same time when other vaccines such as DPT and Polio are given. When Hepatitis B vaccine is administered on the same day as another vaccine, the vaccines should be given in opposite limbs.
