I wonder whether there is something lurking in the water/wildlife/whatever that makes Hep-B more essential in the US than the UK.

Alarmingly, our pediatrician said is was due to food preparation methods :ohmy: How were the handling the food?!?

There are also more immigrants here from Hep-prevelant places like Latin America and China. It's generally not required in the UK and Scandanvia. Countries I think. I've wondered if the colder climates there help reduce the overall rates as well.
