Hep B shot... thoughts??

Question

I read unless mom has hep B it's highly unlikely the baby will get it since it's an STD and can only be transmitted thru sex or sharing dirty needles. Thoughts??

Answer

We are declining it! Not only is it very unlikely that your infant could be infected if you are not, it is a highly preventable, treatable, and curable disease

Answer

Declining it. It's unnecessary IMO, from the research I've done.

Answer

I am pro vaccine all the way and I will even  be declining that one. Baby doesn’t need it right after popping out because I don’t have it and I doubt she will be sharing needles or having sex any time soon.

Answer

Check out the book "the vaccine friendly plan"
If you are vaccinating but are iffy about the schedule. The studies are clear!

Answer

delaying it!

Answer

I'm declining Hep B but getting Hep A. It's much more likely he could contract Hep A. I'm weighing all vaccines on a benefit vs. risk basis.

Answer

We skipped it

Answer

Agree with all the other ladies already said :-)

Answer

Didn't get it for our youngest and our pediatrician was fine with that. Our child's risk was extremely low. I didn't get it until I was in nursing school. Good job informing yourself!
