Do not have hep b but my husband does, that the baby can still be born with it?

Not unless you do: The disease must pass through you if baby is to receive it.If you acquire it during pregnancy you can pass it, but if you stay negative you will not.

My baby had her 1st dose of Hep B when she was born. Now her Ped said she will have her second doses at 6 months old. Is it too long to wait ?
