Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 When I was in labor with Dinah Grace, I told every nurse or other professional that entered my room that Dinah will *not* be receiving any vaccines, including HepB and to please note it in her chart. Thankfully, my labor/delivery nurse also attended our church and knew my family's history. She wouldn't even give her a vit K shot without sending down for the package insert for me to read and approve. If they had hassled me at all I was gonna tape note cards to her bassinet in my room.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I guess the question, is can they be held accountable? Or do I just start picketing in front of the hospitals when I have free time? LOL Aimee Debi wrote: Really and truly all hospitals and medical professionals should be held responsible for vaccinating the HepB to *any* newborn not born to high-risk/HepB+ moms. The blood/brain barrier isn't functioning, the vax has mercury, blah, blah. There is simply no reason to be giving this vax to most newborns, much less older babies who live in low-risk settings. Also, most babies don't exhibit signs of jaundice until several days old, by then the vax has been given. HepB is passed through bodily fluids, which means if your baby isn't doing IV drugs or having sex, the chances of contraction are WAY low. If a baby enters a daycare setting with unclean conditions, the chance goes up slightly, but still fairly low. If a baby is breastfed by a mom who sleeps around and/or does IV drugs, the chance goes way up, but it could be said the baby's also at risk of many other nasty things, like abuse, neglect, etc. The monogomous mother who stays at home with her babies and has a monogomous partner are virtually impossible to contract hep B.
