Does u.s immigration required that I was checking vaccination requirement its showing hepatitis b required even for newborn baby and 4 to 6 years old children 

What do we do about it I have 3 kids 5 8 and 13 

5 and 8 doesnt have vaccination yet for it but 13 years old recieved her first dose for hepatitis b and will be getting 2nd dose in school somtime in late fall

Yes the kids need to get them started before they will release the medical. 

I had to take my youngest of the 4 to the health unit to get it and had to pay out of pocket for it as it wasn't the schedualed age in Canada. 

Since the first two doses need to be done 30 days of the first get it started now. Hopefully you have time to get it them all done before the medical. If not proof of starting them will work too.

There's 3  shots for the younger ones. You only need to get them started, the first two shots are about 30 days apart. The health unit made it seem very important to get that second shot at the 30 day point and not wait. So don't forget it if your still in Canada. The third is 6 months later, you can get that one after you get to the US. (should have your visa by then).

from 2 months to 17 yrs old, hepa b is a requirement. yes, you require 3 doses.

You need them to get into schools in the US so best to get started. 2nd dose is 30 days apart 3 dose is at 90days. So you need 3 months to get them all in.
