Did Your Newborn Receive a Hepatitis B Vaccine Without Your Permission?
At the core of ICAN’s mission is ensuring people give informed consent—and that includes parents consenting for their newborn to receive a vaccine.
The hepatitis B virus is commonly spread through unprotected sex or intravenous drug use. Because newborns do not partake in these behaviors, some parents choose not to give the hep B vaccine to their baby directly after birth.
Yet even when parents clearly decline the hep B vaccine for their newborn, sometimes hospital staff or doctors administer one anyway. If your newborn received a hep B vaccine at the hospital or doctor’s office without your consent, we want to hear about it.
ICAN will be supporting lawsuits for parents whose baby was vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine without their consent. Help us stop hospitals and doctors who are allowing this behavior by their staff to go unchecked.
