In Singapore, it’s compulsory. Hepatitis can cause pain and poor liver function in the acute phase. In rare situations, there is liver failure and baby can die. In the long run, it can lead to liver hardening (cirrhosis), liver damage/failure and even cancer. If you can vaccinate against it, why not?

Hi! If you’re not sure if there are family members or related who have hep-b, then it’s better for your baby to have it shortly after birth. Just to be on the safe side as babies have higher risk of being infected
