Hi

I was just wondering what everyone's opinon was on having the Hep B vaccination on the day the baby is born. Do people think its really necessary to give a baby thats only hours old this type of vaccination?

I read in the litreature about it that it can also give the baby a fever and make them unwell. I imagine its going to be pretty stressful the first couple of days anyway without adding the stress of worrying about the baby because they are ill.

Anyway would love to here people's opinons.
