The purpose of the research is to determine if the Hepatitis B vaccine after birth provides enough protection after cooling for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE). To do this, Hepatitis B titers (blood sample) would be taken before, during, and after administering of the Hepatitis B vaccine series to measure efficacy of the vaccine.
Despite the current research on Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), and the known effects of hypothermia on acute immune response, the effect of the hypothermia protocol for HIE on the efficacy of the Hepatitis B vaccine is still unknown. We plan to measure anti-hepatitis B surface antibodies at intervals prior, during, and after the primary Hepatitis B vaccine schedule for individuals with HIE to see if there is any effect on efficacy due to the Hypothermia protocol.

| Determine efficacy of the Hepatitis B vaccine in individuals who are treated with routine care of Hypothermia for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy | Response to vaccine will be measured by the previously researched protective level of anti-hepatitis B surface antibodies of ≥ 10 mIU/ml. We hypothesize that hypothermia to 33-33.5oC for 72h in near-term and term infants with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy will decrease the infant's immune response to the primary Hepatitis B vaccine series. | 18 months |

Hypothermia protocol is only approved for HIE in newborn infants and thus only newborn infants will be subjects in this study. We enroll every neonate who meets entry criteria or is referred for HIE to our institutions regardless of race and gender.
