Is the baby vaccinated immediately after birth?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

According to the Ministry of Health's vaccination schedule, babies receive their first vaccine immediately after birth, within the first 24 hours. This vaccine is the first dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine. At the same time, Vitamin K prophylaxis is also administered intramuscularly (this is not a vaccine, but a supportive treatment to prevent bleeding risk). Vaccination at birth is standard practice if the baby's weight and general condition are suitable. In premature or low-birthweight babies, the timing of vaccination is separately evaluated by the doctor.
