Winning..!!!!
ACIP just voted 8-3 to end the universal Hep B shot for all healthy newborns. (1 min, 49 sec) Instead, the recommendation now focuses on high-risk babies and recommends the shot later for everyone else - after discussion and agreement between parents and their pediatricians.
For families who are Hep-B-negative, the risk in early infancy is extremely low. No more treating all newborns as if they face the same danger.
This is a shift toward risk-based medicine and informed consent - a rare moment where nuance actually made it into policy.
