YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory panel is expected to vote Thursday on changing the recommended hepatitis B vaccination schedule for newborns.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is meeting for two days and will decide on whether to end the practice of vaccinating all newborns against the highly infectious liver disease, which can be transmitted during childbirth.
The CDC has recommended the hepatitis B vaccine for newborns since 1991, and infant cases of the disease have gone down significantly since then.
The panel's members were handpicked by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine skeptic, after he fired all 17 members earlier this year. PBS News' Ali Rogin has more.
