Claim dangerous, not backed by medical evidence – WHO, experts According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), there is currently no cure for Hepatitis B.

It is recommended that the vaccine is given to all infants as soon as possible after birth, followed by two or three doses.
