re: Hepatitis B vaccine for new born

As someone who was born with Chronic Hepatitis B I say get it.

I have been on Baraclude ir Entravir for my Hep B since it first came out in 2095. I didn't find out I had the Chronic Hep B virus Un tin I was in my Mid 30's. I was lucky as a teen of the 80's, I have very little Liver damage from my choices as a youth and my Hep B virus.

I have Bern getting checked for Liver cancer twice a year via Abdomen Ultra Sounds since I turned 40 in 2007.

I am lucky when I was first diagnosed with Hep B back in 2003 one of the bext doctor and leading expert in the field of the Hep B virus Dr. Robert Perrillo was practicing at Ochner and took me on as a patient.Unfortunatly he was forced to leave New Orleans and is
Now in practice at Baylor in Dallas. I travel to Dallas once a year for annual appointments with Dr.P.

I was instructed to give up drinking alcohol at the age of 36.

I spent a year and half on Intaferon which I can tell you is No fun especially when trying deal with Hurtican Katrina and having take weekly shots in your Abdomen.
