Who’s allowed to get the hepatitis B vaccine in the US now?

The CDC's vaccine advisers have voted to limit the availability of the hepatitis B vaccine in the United States. This is a significant move that signals a shift in the government's approach to vaccines that have been safely and effectively administered for years. The new guidelines restrict the hepatitis B vaccine to most babies, departing from the previous recommendations that encouraged universal vaccination. The decision has raised concerns among public health experts who view it as a regressive step that could compromise the population's immunity against this contagious liver disease. The vote by the CDC's advisers reflects the Trump administration's stance on vaccines, which appears to be more conservative and restrictive compared to previous policies. This change in approach has sparked debates about the importance of maintaining robust vaccination programs to protect public health.
