re: Hepatitis B vaccine for new born

Because your children got all the vaccines and are perfectly healthy is good but doesn’t really mean that some of these vaccines carry no risk.

The DTP vaccine used in 70’s and 80’ caused death or severe brain injury in 1-300 children.So 299 suffered no injury but 1-300 was an unacceptable level of harm.,much higher than harm inflicted on children from diphtheria,tetanus or pertussis.
The DTP was reformulated as DTaP which is much safer.

The harmful DTP vaccine led to the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 which gave vaccine manufactures immunity from harm caused by vaccines.
This in turn led to the explosion of childhood vaccines from 25 doses in 1986 to 73 doses in the 2023 Childhood Vaccine Schedule.

As far as the Hep B vaccine,contains aluminum as an adjuvant which has potentially harmful effects.So why give newborns and infants the Hep B vaccine if the mother isn’t a carrier.
Maybe it would be worthwhile as they reach adolescence as about the only way to catch it is from sex or injecting drugs by sharing needles.

Nurses and other healthcare workers typically take it due to danger of accidental needle sticks.
