New York Defies ACIP, Stands by Hepatitis B Vaccine for Newborns
Update: 2025-12-06
Description
New York City and New York State maintain their stance on administering the hepatitis B vaccine to newborns within 24 hours of birth, despite the ACIPs recent recommendation to delay the first dose. The states acting health commissioner, Michelle Morse, emphasizes the success of their current policy in eliminating hepatitis B cases and criticizes the ACIPs assessment as unscientific. The panel, appointed by vaccine critic Robert F. Kennedy Junior, is met with disagreement from public health experts who warn that delaying the birth dose puts babies at risk for chronic liver disease.
