Star are u going to refuse the vitamin k shot? It's not a vaccine it prepares your baby blood to clot.

I prefer to let my baby's body learn how to function on its own before I start pumping vaccines into it, I won't be starting vaccines til probly around three months and then I have my own schedule so not to overload his little body.

They give a Hepatitis B vaccine and a vitamin K shot. The vitamin K helps prevent brain bleeds since its required for clotting and babies don't naturally have any till 8 days.

I meant (in my first commwnt)okay to refuse is the flu shot. It contains eggs and some people are allergic to eggs

The only other vaccine I would ever refuse is the HPV shot but that is for teens. It has harmed more than it has helped.
