Explanation:

The AAP recommend that newborns receive their first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine within the first 24 hours of their life. One reason for this is that it is possible for the birth mother to pass the infection onto the baby, which is known as a perinatal infection.

Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis B virus. ... Infants may also develop the disease if they are born to a mother who has the virus. Infected children often spread the virus to other children if there is frequent contact (for example, household contact) or a child has many scrapes or cuts.
