I will vouch for one thing: Hep-B is easy to get. HIV? You almost have to go out of your way to get it, but Hep-B is highly contagious. I had to get my three shots before I could even attend class in my field of health care and I'm damned glad I did.

"Unlike hepatitis A, hepatitis B does not generally spread through water and food. Instead, it is transmitted through body fluids; prevention is thus the avoidance of such transmission: unprotected sexual contact, blood transfusions, re-use of contaminated needles and syringes, and vertical transmission during child birth. Infants may be vaccinated at birth."
Let's hope he doesn't wash his hands either. That'll show those evil health authorities!
No tellin' WHERE those hands have been.

Why is this vaccine recommended for all babies when most of them won't be exposed to HBV for many years, if then
There are four reasons for recommending that all infants receive hepatitis B vaccine, starting at birth. First, people have a very high risk for developing chronic HBV infection if they become infected at birth or during childhood, with an increased risk of dying prematurely from liver cancer or cirrhosis. In addition, HBV infection in infants and young children usually produces no symptoms, so these individuals can spread the infection to others without knowing it.
Third, most early childhood spread of HBV occurs in households where a person has chronic HBV infection, but the spread of HBV has also been recognized in daycare centers and schools.
Fourth, long-term protection following infant vaccination is expected to last for decades and will ultimately protect against acquiring infection at any age.

There's no telling where the day care provider or the next door neighbor's been either. One third of all people who have Heb B have no known risk factors. We don't know everything about the transmission of this illness.
