>HEP-B is transmitted by bodily fluid exchange so the real danger kicks during puberty.

Right, we determined the risk of contracting Hep-B was very low for infants. The other risk factors are blood transfusions, medical malpractice. They will get it before they start school. There is also very low chance for an infected infant/toddler to spread Hep-B so, no ethical worries there, unlike MMR.
