[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids (2008 & 2010) were vaccinated on the standard schedule, and did not begin the hep B series until 2 months (along with their other shots).

At the hospital I was asked  “do you want hep B now, or to follow up with your ped (which is what most do)?” And I said I’d follow up with the ped. It was clearly considered the norm. I’m not a “delayed vaxer” or anything like that. My kids received what was recommended & it was made clear that hep B at the hospital was very much optional - and that most waited for ped visit.

We lived in Madison WI at the time and my kids were born at a UW hospital.

I really don’t understand the drama surrounding all of this, or what has changed, TBH. Is it just fear that insurance won’t cover a birth dose now?

You had a choice! This decision takes that choice away from millions of families with zero justification why.

Its great that you
A. Have a pediatrician
B. Have the means to follow up on your schedule 
C.

Many families don’t. Or don’t want to have to worry. Or whatever.

Just because it wasn’t hard for you, doesn’t mean it is for everyone. And again, why? There has been zero explanation, just “yeh, we don’t feel like it.”

That is NOT how a responsible person runs a national health program.
