When people question vaccination because it's "not natural"...

Let me tell you, there's nothing natural about whooping cough bacteria invading a tiny, defenceless body.

Nothing natural about watching your baby’s face turn blue as they gasp for air, or the mechanical hum of an ECMO machine keeping them alive.

Nothing natural about a newborn being poked with needles and tubes in an intensive care unit, and there is certainly nothing natural about burying your child before they have even had the chance to smile.

You know what IS natural?

Protecting your baby!

A parents love for their child is the most natural thing in the world, and because we love them, most of us choose to protect them💙

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that can lead to severe complications later in life, including liver damage, liver failure, liver cancer, or even death.

The hepatitis B vaccine is one of the first vaccines babies receive. Administering it to infants within 24 hours of birth helps to protect both babies and those around them from contracting the virus.

Learn more about why newborns need the hepatitis B vaccine below.
