YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisers voted Friday to abandon universal hepatitis B vaccination for newborns, a massive shift in US immunization policy that experts say will lead to increased illness. Hepatitis B vaccination has been recommended for all infants in the US since 1991, a move that helped slash infections in children from an estimated 18,000 cases per year to about 20. The current CDC vaccine schedule recommends the first dose at birth, a second dose at 1 month or 2 months, and a third at 6 months to 15 months.

CNN medical correspondent Meg Tirrell reports, and Fredricka Whitfield speaks with Dr. Debra Houry, former CDC chief medical officer who resigned over concerns about HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.. #CNN #News
