I recently had to get my newborn vaccinated with Recombivax HB and I was worried about the side effects. The vaccine is important to protect against hepatitis B, but I want to hear from others who have gone through this. Any parents out here who have given their kids this vaccine? How did it go? Any concerning side effects or everything smooth? I know rash, hives, and itching can be signs of a serious allergic reaction too, so any advice on what to specifically look out for? Thanks in advance!
