Adults are still vaccinated for Hep B. They ADDED the vaccine for kids, let me repeat..ADDED, not switched.

Every new hire at my nursing agency is offered Hep B if they do not already have it. They can refuse it, but do so with the full understanding that they will come into contact with blood/body fluids.

New hires that have already had their full set of shots have titers drawn to see if a booster is necessary. Mine were still sufficient a full four years after my last shot. Moreover, no immunization (to my knowledge) is guaranteed a lifetime, that is why folks my age are still at risk for smallpox.

PLEASE vaccinate your kids, folks. The benefits far outweigh the risks.

Why would you give a child a vaccine for a bloodborne pathogen? What...do you expect them to be gay or be intravenous drug users?

Can you please tell me the rational of getting my newborn a Hep B shot? Bloodborne and sexual contact????

My best friend's mom is the head nurse at the Pediatric Unit where I had my older daughter in Cleveland. She said NOT to get the shot for my newborn. I moved to MI and it was law.

Now I homeschool and neither of my children will have another shot. Sorry, MMR & DPT from aborted babies. Can't do.

My nephew was severely brain damaged by his DPT shot, my son had a severe reaction as a child, and my daughter has eczema.

I will NOT vaccinate my children, and I am not an ignorant parent.
