Seems like the naysayers/ deniers should be dead by now...

 

Just an observation.

You realize most of the naysayers and deniers are actually all vaccinated with measles, whooping cough, and a dozen other deadly vaccines because it was pretty much mandatory when they were children, right?

The ones who are going to suffer are their children.

ACIP meeting today and tomorrow, looks like today will focus on birth dose of Hep B vaccine, with a vote scheduled. Tomorrow appears to be a broader discussion of the evolution of the vaccine guidance in US with comparison particularly to other developed countries. 

 

Here is the vote language today.

Hepatitis B Vaccination in Children Born to Mothers who test HBsAg-negative

Vote Language, 12/3/25

VOTE 1

ACIP recommends a birth dose of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine and Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin for infants born to women who test HBsAg-positive. ACIP recommends individual-based decision-making, in consultation with a health care provider, for parents deciding whether to give the HBV vaccine birth dose to infants born to women who are HBsAg-negative or whose HBsAg status is unknown. Parents should consult with health care providers and decide when or if their child will begin the HBV vaccine series. Parents and health care providers should consider vaccine benefits, vaccine risks, and infection risks. For those not receiving the HBV birth dose, it is suggested that the initial dose is administered no earlier than 2 months of age. Y/N

VOTE 2

When evaluating the need for subsequent HBV vaccine dose in children, parents should consult with health care providers to determine if a post-vaccination anti-HBs serology testing should be offered prior to subsequent HBV vaccine dose administration. Serology results should determine whether the established protective anti-HBs titer threshold of ≥10 mIU/mL has been achieved. The cost of this testing should be covered by insurance. Y/N
