I think children should be vaccinated. It protects them. My baby girl didn't cry at all from any of her shots or when they pricked her foot to check her jaundice levels

My son got shots right after he was born, and he didn't cry at all. I personally feel like he should get them and should always be safe and healthy and I think at this rate  he will be

I suggest you vaccinate. If there's an out break, you're  child will be protected.

I don't do the hepatitis b. I think it's just mean to start giving shots right at birth! And the Hep b  shots wear off by teenage years and you just have to get the series over again anyway. I start immunizations selectively after I'm done breastfeeding. We're caught up by age 5. It works for us!

Talk with your pediatrician and see. Individual risk factors and home environment play a big part of that decision. For our family we are delaying the Hep B until she's older, yes to vitamin K, and refusing eye ointment since I don't have any STDs.
