combined hep a and b jab, anyone given it to their baby?

[Sonya007]

as the title really. im just wondering if anyone has given there baby this jab for world travel or not, and if so were there any side effects.

I seem to recall that someone can only get Hep's B from interchange of bodily fluids; you can't get it from casual contact. And the Heps B vaccine has a bad reputation; I'm generally fine about giving DC jabs, but the Heps B one in particular worries me.

Heps A I think one can get from casual contact. Pls. do your own research to verify all that, but if it were my child, I imagine that I would seek Heps-A vacc without the Heps-B part.

One of my babies had the Hep B jabs (at birth, one month and 6 months). No side effects.

It is a pretty widespread vaccination in other countries.
