At this week’s meeting, the newly reconstituted panel will discuss three vaccines: the combined measles, mumps, rubella and varicella vaccine, the hepatitis B vaccine and this year’s updated COVID shots. The Hepatitis B VaccineWhat HappenedMembers voted to affirm that “all pregnant women should be tested for hepatitis B infection,” as is the current standard of care. “That strategy failed miserably.”CDC epidemiologists found that between 30 and 40 percent of people with hepatitis B had no risk factors. ACIP committee members convened in 1991 and recommended vaccinating all newborns or infants aged one month to two months old. During this year’s June meeting, the panel discussed COVID vaccines but did not hold a vote on them.
