Re: HEPATITIS B Vaccine
We did for our first and will for the next. We did not have it done in the hospital, our ped. told us to wait for the first appointment.

Re: HEPATITIS B Vaccine
We did.
We might have waited for the first peds appointment since that's what they recommend, but our LOs were admitted to the NICU after birth and we had no way of knowing how long they'd be there.

Re: HEPATITIS B Vaccine
We did with DS but not until 2 months when we started his vaccinations. I personally didn't feel it was necessary upon birth.

Re: HEPATITIS B Vaccine
Definitely not when he is first born. I don't have Hep B, neither does my husband or anyone who will be in proximity to our newborn...so unless the baby is going to run out and have wild shex or use intravenous drugs, he will be fine.
Everyone should do their research on vaccines and come to their own decisions.
ETA: we will eventually vaccinate him, just not until later.

Re: HEPATITIS B Vaccine
Did not give DS shot I'm hospital I waited for first doctor appointment. I will be doing the same with this baby. I personally don't see the need for the Hep B shot so young. I didn't get one till I was 20 and working in a hospital. Both me, DH, DS and other immediate family are vaccinated. Why give it to DS so young? He won't leave the house really for a good two months.

Re: HEPATITIS B Vaccine
We are planning on waiting until the first pediatrician appointment. Our doctor said unless the parents have it there is no need to give it to the baby as soon as they are born so we decided to wait. I think the only thing they get other then that right away is a vitamin K shot.
