This is really long,  but it's what I found on the C D C website. It might help you.:

Hepatitis B spreads through blood or other body fluids that contain small amounts of blood of an infected person. People can spread the virus even when they have no symptoms.

Babies and children can get hepatitis B in the following ways:

At birth from their infected mother.From bites from an infected person.By touching open cuts or sores of an infected person.Through sharing toothbrushes or other personal items used by an infected person.From food that was chewed (for a baby) by an infected person.From ear piercing needles that were not cleaned well.

The virus can live on objects for 7 days or more. Even if you don’t see any blood, there could be virus on an object.

A shot in the first days of life?

It’s hard to imagine putting your newborn through the pain of a shot. But a little stick in the first day of life is an important first step to protecting your baby against a deadly disease.

All babies should get the first shot of hepatitis B vaccine before they leave the hospital. This shot acts as a safety net, reducing the risk of getting the disease from moms or family members who may not know they are infected with hepatitis B. And when a mom has hepatitis B, the vaccine has the best chance of protecting against hepatitis B, but the hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) works best when given within the first 12 hours of life. HBIG is a medicine that gives a baby’s body a “boost” or extra help to fight the virus as soon as he or she is born. The HBIG shot is only given to babies of mothers who have hepatitis B.

Yes there is abundant evidence that vaccines cause autism and other illness.  They try to cover it up because vaccines are a money maker.  Unvaccinated kids don't put vaccinated kids at risk, if they did then that means your vaccines don't even work.

I am NOT going to let them give my newborn any vaccines.  There is absolutely no reason and the risks outweigh the benefit (to a newborn).  I won't start any vaccines until at least age 2, and then I will research each one carefully before allowing it to be injected into my child's body.  They gave my first baby the heb b vaccine without even asking!!

There is absolutely no correlation between vaccination and autism. There is absolutely no factual evidence that links vaccination to any sort of mental retardation or any other major issues except in people with preexisting autoimmune disorders or contraindications to medications. Vaccination saves lives. Vaccination saves babies children and adults from horrific diseases like German measles and whooping cough and hepatitis.
There are schools that will accept "religious" or "personal belief" waivers to allow people to enroll their children without vaccinating them. Those people pose a significant danger to you and your family. Vaccinate your children. Give them protection against diseases that kill people.

Personally,  I had all my vaccines as a child.  My two daughters have all their vaccines as well. I feel better knowing I'm trying to keep them healthy,  now if they have any reactions to them then I won't push it. I plan to do the same with my little one when he/she arrives.  That's just me. :)

Me and my husband agreed to no vaccinations unless we talk about it and research it. A lot of vaccines can cause adhd, autism, and a lot more mental/ learning problems. We are homeschool ing our kids until they can decide for themselves if they want to go to public school. Where I live it isn't mandatory to get vaccines. Nor do you have to be current with them if you want to attend public.

Home school or private schools. Some vaccinations are necessary and others aren't.

You can sign a personal exemption, or your dr can sign one if there is a medical rason.  My older daughter who is now 15 had a serious reaction to mmr, very lucky she didn't wind up with autism.  The problem with vaccines is they give too many too fast and all at once.  Its dangerous.

I think so, either they get vaccinated or the district wont enroll them. At least thats how it is in my town, and we have 8 elementary schools(: I personally think it's kinda dumb not to vaccinate them. But thats just me
