CDC delay of infant hepatitis B shot likely to raise infections, studies show - The Washington Post

Federal vaccine advisers to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. voted in December to recommend delaying the first hepatitis B vaccine for newborns of mothers who test negative until at least two months of age. Multiple studies warn that postponing the birth dose will likely lead to hundreds of additional infant infections. That recommendation has become a focus of ongoing legal and policy disputes, and a federal judge has temporarily paused parts of the administration's immunization changes and postponed Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meetings, increasing confusion about vaccination guidance.
