Kara: Well, good luck with your job-hunting. We must realize that there are always prices to pay. If the job of your dreams comes with the cost of the (after all, small) risk from Hep. b vaccination, you must consider if it is worth the price.

Dr. Leela:

"Today the vaccine is being forced onto infants and new borns - I don't see the rationale behind it - and I find it alarming. I think instead it should continue to be a choice."

I agree, and I'm surprised to hear it. Where does that happen, and why? I thought that there was general consensus that Hep. b vaccination is among the ones that are only to be given if a concrete risk of infection exists. For the general polulace, where the risk of Hep. b infection is very small, the cost/benefit balance for vaccination is not favorable.
