DH is hep B positive since birth through his mother,
I am currently 35 weeks pregnant with our 3rd child (i am myself immunised)
Our 2 previous children were immunised through the NHS as a precaution.
I have been informed this week by the consultant and then midwife, that this baby won't be vaccinated as it is not necessary,
However the NHS website recommends that close family members of people who are infected should consider being vaccinated.
I want that child to be vaccinated as I can't live with the worry of him possibly being infected accidently.
The problem is the first dose needs to be given within 24hours of birth,
I have looked into private vaccination but due to the Time frame, I am feeling anxious about the logistic of it all,
Does anyone have any recommendations?
