Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital is contacting more than 280 mothers who recently delivered babies at the hospital, after it was discovered some infants were given ineffective hepatitis B vaccinations.
The hospital has contacted mothers who gave birth at the hospital between November 29 2016 and January 22 this year, after a batch of hepatitis B vaccinations were not stored at the correct temperature- making the vaccine ineffective.
