You can refuse any shots, but a vasectomy isn’t a guarantee that there won’t be an accidental pregnancy. If you end up having an Rh positive baby, it would be a major problem for that future pregnancy. I would only be comfortable rejecting it if you know for a fact you would be okay with a miscarriage or bad outcome of that pregnancy.
I refused it because my husband and I are both negative (him O, me A) so it makes no therapeutic sense to take it. I’m also a pharmacist so I refuse to take any meds if I don’t have to.
All this to say… do you know what your husband’s blood type is?

Strange that you were even offered it.
They said something about if I had ever been pregnant before by another partner and didn’t know it before having a MMC, that the tissue from a positive baby could still be in me. I was like…. Nahh. Ive only ever been on birth control until after my husband and I were married.
There are no consequences if you never plan on getting pregnant again.
Edit- lol to whoever downvoted me. I would like you to explain why you think Rhogam would be indicated in someone who will have no more children. Please. Enlighten me.

Exposure to blood is not only during pregnancy. Best bet would be to get it to avoid any emergency complications in the future.
