The science surrounding giving babies their 1st dose of #hepatitisB vaccine at birth is clear. The practice is safe and saves lives, a report released before this week’s #ACIP meeting shows. The committee has mused about delaying the birth dose. www.statnews.com/2025/12/….

Expert review finds delaying the hepatitis B vaccine birth dose would increase chronic infections in kids

Delaying the timing of vaccinating infants against hepatitis B — which ACIP could vote on later this week — would likely lead to more chronic infections in kids.

"Our nation’s public health is not in good hands." — Public health lawyer @doritreiss.bsky.social breaks down this week's gobsmacking meeting of #CDC's vaccine advisory panel, #ACIP. The #hepatitisB birth dose is gone. Kennedy's ACIP isn't done yet. www.statnews.com/2025/12/….

RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisory panel is beset by incompetence, bias, and procedural chaos

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices' (ACIP) meetings used to be a geek’s dream: hours of long, maybe dreary presentation of extensive data

It's not just #Covid vaccines. This sham panel will likely restrict #HepatitisB vax for babies, #HPV / #Gardasil and others. RFK Jr and his ilk are a menace to our health. Where are Senators Cassidy and Collins now?

It's hard to predict what the new #ACIP will do, but it looks like it will recommend that the universal birth dose for #hepatitisB be jettisoned. Experts warn even a delay of 2 months before the first dose will lead to chronically infected kids & deaths. www.statnews.com/2025/12/….

On Thursday, members of a committee that advises #CDC on vaccine policy will vote on changes to #hepatitisB vaccine use in babies. Manufacturers (who have safety data) & CDC experts who study the vaccine aren't involved in the planning for the votes. #ACIP www.statnews.com/2025/12/….
