FAQ: Can family members of someone with Hepatitis B be protected, or do they also need Tafsure? Tafsure is a treatment for people already diagnosed with chronic Hepatitis B — it is not used for prevention in uninfected family members. Instead, household and family contacts who are not already infected should be offered the Hepatitis B vaccine, which is highly effective at preventing infection. Vaccination status of close contacts should be checked and updated as needed, separate from the infected person's own Tafsure treatment plan. |
