Quick question about newborn vaccines

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Is it just the hep b that they want to do in the hospital after the birth, I can't remember?

I want to refuse that one, can I do so in NYS?

I want to put this in my birth plan and I have to print it out asap to go to my appt, thanks so much for quick responses!!!

Yes the only vaccine they give in the hospital is the Hep B. You can refuse it. I would suggest not only putting it in your birthplan, but room in with your baby...never let him/her be without you or DH. There are stories on here of moms who LO's were given the Hep B despite refusing it.

Yup we live in NYS and refused Hep B.

It's not a vax, but there is a vitamin k injection that has a laundry list of ingredients in it, as well as the eye goop that they typically give to newborns.

Thank you all!

I put in my birth plan that we're refusing the hep vax and my mw didn't have a problem with it I still have to talk to my pediatrician.
