In short, we'd like to follow a delayed schedule. Does anyone know about the prevalence of Hep B in Korea? Plus, there's a good chance our caregiver will be from southeast Asia, where I know the disease is more prevalant than in the US. Would we be crazy not to vax our newborn - is the risk of not vaxing greater than the risk of vax complications? Please keep in mind that my DH already has on vax-damaged child, so we're already skittish about the whole idea of vaccinations. I can do my own research on the risks/benefits of the vaccine itself - I just want to know if anyone has any hard evidence or personal experience dealing w/Hep B & South Korea. Thanks!
