It is extremely unlikely but hepatitis B is found in blood, saliva, and other bodily fluids of a person infected with it. It is usually transmitted to another person if blood or fluid enters anothers body through a cut or broken skin. (also sexual intercourse and including injection)
IF the other baby has got Hepatitis B then you may want to get your baby tested just in case; speak to a doctor if you are worried.

You would be best asking this question to a real doctor as hep B has a lot of little things it can and can not do.
I am not sure what the minimum age is for the hep B injections but I would also find that out and get them ASAP

Hep B can be passed through saliva but only if the other person is infected with the Hep B virus.

From what i have read on Hep B, it can only be passed either:
From mother to baby at birth
Via injected drugs/dirty needles
or via sexual contact
Please take your baby to the doctors just incase!!
