But std tests are part of obgyn annual care…
People most at risk of Hepatitis B probably aren’t getting regular obgyn care. They might not even get regular prenatal care.
So why are we pushing more shots on all newborns?
Is this to camouflage the High Risk Moms amongst the and S T D Moms? Make everyone feel better?
Unlikely. It makes someone more money.
It’s both. We sacrifice healthy children so the unhealthy don’t feel targeted. It also provides a captive and legally shielded revenue stream.
What’s the craziest is all the people who want European style healthcare who freak out when we make our policies align with theirs more closely.

When you choose not to vaccinate even though you think the risk to you personally is low - even then - you chose the higher risk option.
DP to add, this risk calculation will inevitably tip more toward it being better to vaccinate the more our leaders push distrust in vaccination. People feel safe because we had a successful program, but now we will be weakening that program.

They probably also don't know its transmitted by a fecal-oral vector...
So many vaccine enthusiasts think its some sort of "cough, cough, now I'm paralyzed" nonsense.

There is every risk. It’s contracted when passing through birth canal. That immediate vaccine is vital. If one waits several months, it’s too late.
Many women don’t get tested or contract it after being tested. It’s the best way to prevent serious illlness and suffering. Have you ever seen anyone with hepatitis b? A child? With a totally preventable horrible illness?!
I stayed at home after birth for a couple years. Neither DH nor I had hep B. Why would my baby need it until daycare or school? I believe in vaccines but asked the pediatrician to space out the number of shots they were giving and they accommodated that.
Did you never go to a store, restaurant, shopping mall? Because if I did you could have been infected by anyone you passed. Don't vaccinate and run the risk that you are deliberately running the risk if infecting your child and if this happens then you have only yourself to blame and don't come crying to the rest of us if your child dies because you are a fool who believed a moron with a brain worm.

Hep b is transmitted by bodily fluids -- blood and semen. You cannot get it from casual contact. As long as your newborn is not having sex or exchanging needles with someone infected with Hep B, she will be fine.
Yes, as long as no one in your family has Hep B, you can wait until daycare or preschool to get Hep B vax. But if you want it at birth for your baby just ask for it!! Problem solved!!
