The Advisory Committee on #Immunization Practices [ #ACIP] approved the change despite fierce objections from #medical groups who said the recommendation had proved a successful #PublicHealth strategy, nearly eradicating the dangerous #virus among #US #children.

The incompetent #ConspiracyTheory laden #ACIP voted 8-3 to eliminate a recommendation dating to 1991 for every child to receive a 1st dose of a #hepatitisB #vaccine shortly after birth. The panel said the newborn shot is no longer necessary for babies born to mothers who test negative for the virus. They suggest parents of those children delay the first dose for at least 2 months & consult with their doctors about whether or when to begin the 3-dose series.
