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

Yes, hep b is very important and can prevent liver cancers
Just take it. The pros outweighs the cons.
Not necessary unless mommy has hep b
Not a must. But good to have.
I think it's good to have!
Is optional to vaccinate
