It was 1999 the last time we had a hospital birth, so my information may be out of date. But the one shot that seemed totally unnecessary to me was HepC. At that time in our area they gave it to newborns before they left the hospital. HepC is spread through dirty needles/sexual contact, etc. Just seemed like an odd thing to require for newborns with parents who don't use drugs or test positive for other diseases, etc. I should add that we only vaxxed our first two kids partially- had to really fight for that at the time- and after that we skipped them all entirely. But this was one of the things that we learned that got us thinking about the accepted vax schedule.
HepC can be contracted just from contacting a dirty surface contaminated with it (like a toilet seat), and then touching mouth, eyes, etc….
It’s generally not contracted by adults that way, because we have pretty good washing habits and we know not to make sweet love to public toilet seats lol….
That being said… good parenting eliminates the HepC risk…. And makes the vax pointless and unnecessary risk.
