i declined it at birth and no one gave me any trouble - in fact, the midwife was quite approving. no doubt there are babies who go home to environments where hep b is a risk but that doesn't mean all babies need it right away.

there was no 'catch up' vaccine at 2 months - just the usual bunch including hep b.

if you don't want it, put it in your birth plan and tell them again once baby's born. i think you have to sign a permission slip but it's worth reminding people of your preferences just in case.
