| Response from Dr. McGovern
 Hepatitis B I am less worried about because the risk for people comes later in life. I am concerned about other childhood diseases. There was a report in the New England Journal of Medicine about children and adults contracting measles due to lack of immunization. Three peopole were hospitalized and one was in the intensive care unit. These kinds of decisions should be made with careful discussion with the pediatrician. | ||||||||
