Doctors who support vaccines (most of them) will admit that they give Hep B vaccines to just born infants in the hospital (day 1 or 2) because if they don't give them the vaccine then, the parents will not give it to them later.

I have to admit, I'm actually happy that the CDC is now making covid vaccine for children an election issue. They probably think it will help Democrat candidates. It is most definitely going to tilt things in the favor of the GOP candidate if they decide to make it an election issue like Kari Lake has. In AZ 29% of 5-11 year olds and 59% of 12-17 year olds are fully vaccinated. For PA, it's 34% and 59%.

Six years ago I had my 4th and final child, induction.... RN was telling me about the protocol vaccines they'd take my newborn away to give to her.... I told her nope! And gave her my birth plan in writing. She responded with a "Looks like I'm going to have to give you some vaccine education while you're here" snarky comment 😂 the LPN that was trying to start the IV just looked up at me like OMG, I'm so sorry. Needless to say, I never saw that RN again. No one got to take my newborn away from my sight, and if I were to ever have another baby, I'd never again do it in a hospital.
I have no doubt that somewhere there are perinatally-acquired cases of hep B. Probably (I am assuming) babies born to moms who have used IV drugs and/or been sexually trafficked/prostitutes.
But it is not common at all. And we have zero reason to give to the entire population.
Kind of like the ointment they put in a newborn’s eyes to keep them from infection in case they came into contact with an STD during delivery....except they do it to C-section babies too 🤔. I remember wiping it away immediately and saying (on video) “Mommy doesn’t have an STD, let’s get that crap off your eye” 🤪

I was always told it was to protect the rare newborn whose mom had undiagnosed hep B, and who therefore was at risk of contracting it during birth.
But still, there are better ways to assess a baby’s risk for this, rather than carte Blanche giving to all.

My daughter specifically declined the hep b vax, but her baby’s hospital records show that he got it.
They are either lying on his records or they deliberately disregarded her instructions. Either way, her next baby won’t be birthed in a hospital.
Test the mother before birth. Problem solved.
The cynic in me says they probably do the test but don't look at the result - more items to bill that way.
Yes, I know. Exactly.
That is total bullshit, of course. Anyone here ever heard of a baby getting hep b? Anyone here, or their children, ever had it themselves?

Didn't you know, there is rampant unprotected sex in nurseries...
🤣
Oh no! Those percentages are awfully high. So sad
Do we have this info any other way? Would hate to have to create a nytimes account.
