Is the Hep B vaccine necessary?
At the end of the day, as with every vaccine, I encourage you to weigh the benefits against the risks and make an informed decision as part of your birth plan, prior to the exciting day of your baby’s birth.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that newborn babies receive the Hepatitis B vaccine on their first day of life and another at 2 months and another at 6 months.
Truthfully, most of the infants, toddlers, and young children receiving this vaccine face little to no chance of Hepatitis B infection, and the vaccines impose significant risks, including the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, autoimmune illness, and even death.
We are told by public health officials and the media that parents should vaccinate their children strictly according to the schedule recommended by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
We are told that the CDC’s routine childhood vaccine schedule is based on solid science, and it is imperative that all parents comply to reduce the societal disease burden.
Remember you are in control and have the legal right to truthful informed consent!
