Hey Ren - I looked into this alot this pg - and had many chats with both my midwives about it.

Basically they used to only give the hep B injection at birth in high risk areas, or to babies whose mothers had hep B. Then they decided that the best way to eradicate hep B completely was to just start routinely giving the injection at birth, even though it is HIGHLY unlikely that a baby would contract it in the first 8wks of life. That first injection only covers them for the 8 wks, so not giving it to your bub won't affect the rest of the immunisation schedule (as others have said!)

As for Vit K - I did lots of research on that too (if you want some more info PM me, I won't babble on here!!) but we have decided not to give this bub either injection, but give Vit K orally (unless its a particularly traumatic birth.)

All the best with your decision!
