CDC panel votes to end policy on hepatitis B vaccine for newborns
A CDC advisory panel has opted to end the decades-long recommendation that all babies in the U.S. get a hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of being born.The panel’s hepatitis B decision was met with swift backlash Friday from medical and public health experts. The entire vaccine advisory panel was appointed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vocal vaccine skeptic who’s overseen other big changes to vaccine policy.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has for decades recommended the hepatitis B vaccine for babies to protect them from the serious liver infection.
The shots are widely considered to be a public health success.
The Kennedy-appointed Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended that the birth dose only be given to babies whose mothers test positive, and in cases where the mom wasn’t tested, according to The Associated Press.
