The committee’s reversal on Friday standardizes the updated MMRV vaccine recommendations for all children. ACIP tables a rule delaying Hepatitis B vaccine for newbornsIn what appeared to be another reversal, the panel shelved a resolution that sought to alter current CDC recommendations around hepatitis B vaccines for newborn children. ACIP has been recommending a hepatitis B vaccine for all newborn babies since 1991, which resulted in a 99% drop in serious infections between 1990 and 2019. “To date, no country in the world has reverted from universal to selective birth dose recommendations,” he added. Correction: An earlier version of this story mischaracterized ACIP’s 1991 recommendation for the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine.
