A member asked:

Is the heptitis b vaccine safe during pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: This is a non-living lab created material. It has no potential to infect baby. Many practitioners prefer not to give this or any optional vaccine until after the 1st trimester,out of an abundance of caution, but it is considered safe.
