I didn't want to give W the Hep B shot at birth. I didn't see the point as he would only be around us and we don't have it. I wanted to defer but DH said "Maybe he should have it" and I relented.
Later on he said "It says here he's had the Hep B vac" and I said "Yes, that was your choice!" I should have stuck to what I wanted.
I planned to let him have it down the track because I really didn't see any need for it until he was looking at going into childcare.
We were definitely given a clear choice (either now or later). It was never presented as being something they had to have right off.
