#Hep B

Hepatitis B for Babies! Just look at the prescribing information (package insert) #vaccine #hepb #informedconsent

1. If a baby becomes infected with hepatitis B, there’s a 90% chance that they will develop chronic hepatitis B. This will increase their risk of lifelong cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma 2. Newborns are highly vulnerable and by getting the birth dose of hepatitis B, immune protection starts within the first few hours of life 3. Since universal Hepatitis B birth dose vaccination started in 1991 the acute hepatitis B infection in children fell by 99% 4. Many adults with hepatitis B have no symptoms and don’t know they are infected. The birth dose protects babies who are exposed to close household contacts 5. Hepatitis B infection can be reactivated in the future due to immunosuppresion or chemotherapy 6. The hepatitis B vaccine has been studied for decades with extensive research

Skipping prevention isn’t just about one child, it’s about the system we’ve built. Hepatitis B shows how quickly a missed vaccine becomes a cascade of tests, drugs, hospitalizations, and million-dollar transplants. Other countries with high Hep B prevalence are living with the fallout. It is billions in lost productivity, overwhelmed hospitals, and families bankrupted by a disease that could have been stopped at birth. The US has the tools to prevent it, since 1991…. The question is whether we have the will to use them. #publichealth #public #law #news #vaccine #rootcause #prevention #american #misinformation #science #life #medicine #nutrition #lawyer #media #shooting #instagram #stem #medical #medlife #healthcare #hospital #doctor #physician #nurse #surgeon #medicalstudent #medstudent #medschool #medicalschool

The Hepatitis B vaccine has been in the news and there are a lot of parents trying to figure out what’s right for their baby. Hepatitis B is more than 100x more contagious than HIV and infants are at higher risk for chronic liver disease. The vaccine is low risk and very effective #hepb #pediatrician #parents #doctor Disclaimer: For educational and entertainment purposes only and should not be regarded as medical advice or replace the advice of your physician

1. Hepatitis B is up to 100x more infectious than HIV. You can catch it through blood, body fluids, and microscopic amounts of blood during birth — which is why babies are at the highest risk. 2. If a baby gets Hep B and isn’t protected at birth, up to 90% will develop lifelong, chronic infection. Chronic Hep B = liver damage, liver failure, and liver cancer. This isn’t a “they’ll grow out of it” situation. 3. Most people who have Hepatitis B don’t even know it! You can feel perfectly fine and still pass it to a newborn. The birth dose protects your baby even if no one realized you’re positive yet. Transmission? Think personal items like razors, toothbrushes, nail clippers,tattoos, piercings. Hep B can live up to 7 days even on dried surfaces. 4. The birth dose is time-sensitive. “Waiting until the first pediatrician visit” is the health equivalent of trying to put on a seatbelt after the crash-OK admittedly dramatic but I'm trying to drive a point home. 5. Hep B has no cure — but it’s preventable. That tiny shot your baby gets in the hospital? That’s the armor. That’s the shield. That’s the difference between “chronic lifelong illness” and “totally avoidable.” 6. Bonus: The vaccine is one of the safest newborn vaccines ever created. Over 30+ years of use, millions of babies protected-including by you!, and zero credible evidence of harm. It’s safe. It works. It saves lives. ⸻ ⚠️ Final Note I will never forget witnessing the death of a 24-year-old young girl from Hep B liver failure. She wasn't vaccinated and didn't not have to die. It was then that I realized how important it is we respect viruses and vaccinate. Unfortunately, we cannot currently trust our national Health & Human Services leadership to prioritize evidence-based care — so please talk to your doctor (hopefully one with some sense). #hepatitisb #pregnancy #preggolife #postpartum #baby #expecting #expectingmom #bringinghomebaby #hepatitis #virus #womenshealthmatters #pregnant #publichealth #trustscience #science #vaccination #vaccine #vaccines #vaccinessavelives #fafo #pediatrician #pediatrics

Hepatitis B can be silent… but dangerous. 👀 Many people don’t even know they have it until it affects the liver.

Hepatitis B still haunts me as a GI fellow #hepatitisb

The Senate HELP Committee hearing today with former CDC Director Susan Monarez once again revealed how little evidence backs the mandates pushed on our children. Senator Rand Paul asked a simple question: Why are we giving newborns a Hepatitis B shot? The CDC couldn’t justify it. He reminded the committee that there’s no evidence to keep Hep B on the childhood schedule — and that the burden is on the CDC to prove why babies need Hep B or even a COVID vaccine. This isn’t anti-vaccine — it’s about demanding evidence, truth, and accountability. As nurses, we are ethically bound to question policies that lack proof and protect the most vulnerable — our children. ⸻ 🔖 Hashtags #RandPaul #CDC #SenateHELPCommittee #HepB #ChildhoodVaccines #MedicalFreedom #RighteousRN #EthicsInNursing #KnowTheCodeRN #TruthOverNarrative #WhistleblowerRN #ProtectOurKids #FaithOverFear #StandForTruth

ACIP just voted 8–3 to end the universal Hep B shot for all healthy newborns. Instead, the recommendation now focuses on high-risk babies and recommends the shot later for everyone else - after discussion and agreement between parents and their pediatricians.   For families who are Hep-B-negative, the risk in early infancy is extremely low. This vote reflects that reality. No more treating all newborns as if they face the same danger. This is a shift toward risk-based medicine and informed consent - a rare moment where nuance actually made it into policy. We want to hear your thoughts; was this the right call?

Many have asked why we don’t just give the Hep B vaccine to babies whose mom’s test positive for Hepatitis B. Well, there are a few reasons which are mentioned above. There are others as well, but hopefully this is helpful. (Source: @ameracadpeds ) #hepatitisb #hepatitis #hepb
