To throw in a curly one: I wonder in a home where intravenous drug use doesn't take place why a baby needs to be vaxed for hepB at 3 days post birth? None of the reasons given are good enough for me. One of the major reasons given is that very young babies are going into childcare and this protects babies from contracting from other babies via saliva, possits etc. I can see if your baby were to go into early care that it may be a consideration. However, why else is this required so early in life?
I have just refused the Hep B for my new baby because its my opinion that it isnt necessary and can be harmful for a newborn baby to have this vaccine and its components injected into its bloodstream within hours of birth. My son has no risk factors for contracting Hep B.

Jo, like you I purposely havent posted in here until now. As most of you probably know, I have personal and very valid reasons for not immunising my younger children. They will receive some of the vaccines when they are older, and their little bodies stronger and better able to cope with them.
