Does anyone know or have a list of vaccines that they like to give to newborns in the hospital? DH and I want to do some research on them. Thanks!

As far as I know they only give the hepatitis B vaccine shortly after birth.

The only vaccine they give at birth is the first dose of Hep B.

all other vaccines begin at 2 months of age

here is the package inserts

Well, its not a vaccine, but they also do Vitamin K. We plan on doing the oral version since the injection dosage is too high for a newborn, and it can be linked to jaundice. All 3 of my kids AND my surrogate daughter all had the Vit K and all had jaundice.

But besides that, its Hep B w/in 24 hrs of birth, unless instructed not to do so.

Congratulations on your baby boy and good for you for researching vaccines before he is born! Please consider visiting The Case Against Circumcision forums here too.
