Did your child get it? I’m on the fence about this vaccine.


This was 20 years ago. Asked a few standard questions on first pediatrician visit and basically she got pissed and said we needed them to get into school. Had no medical reasoning why a week old baby needed that vaccine. That's all we needed to hear.

Interestingly,Hep A is on the list of vaccinations but not until they are 12 months old.I would think that one would be of benefit,especially if the child goes to daycare.
Hep A is passed by the fecal-oral route,so much more likely to get that(and bring it home).
Nasty little urchins put everything in their mouths and I would expect there is some degree of poo contamination in even the best daycares.
