[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually we delayed both Heps, but we finished Hep A after K started. My children were not in daycare and did not meet any of the criteria for high risk. Hep A is pretty rare. Below is taken from the CDC website.

Who is at risk for Hepatitis A?
Although anyone can get Hepatitis A, in the United States, certain groups of people are at higher risk, such as those who:
Travel to or live in countries where Hepatitis A is common
Are men who have sexual contact with other men
Use illegal drugs, whether injected or not
Have clotting-factor disorders, such as hemophilia
Live with someone who has Hepatitis A
Have oral-anal sexual contact with someone who has Hepatitis A[/quote]

So no one your child comes in contact with travels. Your child will never go to someone's house or outing where the parent has just returned from travel. You have asked all your neighbors, family and friends who host you for meals what their status is and if they have had homosexual encounters or used IV drugs. You inquire at restaurants you bring your children to if any of the food workers are in the above categories and inspect their hands as they prepare the food.

If you thought "no, I don't do any of these things", go get your children vaccinated [/quote]

I did. Just not per the "schedule." Miraculously they lived. Go worry about someone else.[/quote]
