The CDC’s vaccine panel has voted to stop vaccinating all newborns against Hepatitis B.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Junior‘s hand-picked panel made the recommendation Friday after delaying the vote yesterday.
Members of the CDC‘s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted eight to three to recommend that the shot, which protects against a potentially life-threatening liver infection, should no longer be given to all newborns within 24 hours of birth.
Instead, they recommended that, for mothers who did not test positive for hepatitis B, they should consult with their doctor on whether or not to vaccinate their newborn against the disease.
They also voted to recommend that the initial dose of the hepatitis B vaccine should not be administered earlier than two months of age.
