  • Last week, an advisory panel handpicked by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. urged ending routine newborn hepatitis B vaccination as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices examines childhood vaccine changes.

  • Medical societies and multistate collaborations issued alternate guidance Tuesday, with pediatricians, obstetricians, family physicians and infectious disease experts opposing the hepatitis B change and city and state public health departments issuing advice mirroring pre-2025 federal guidance.
  • New guidelines offered without new data concern clinicians who rely on ACIP, while federal agencies moved this fall to restrict COVID-19 vaccine policy, risking fragmented national guidance.
