CDC ACIP panel tables vote on changing hepatitis B vaccine schedule

CDC ACIP panel tables vote on changing hepatitis B vaccine schedule

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice, a key government advisory committee, recently made a decision to postpone a vote on delaying infants’ first hepatitis B vaccine. This decision came after a thorough deliberation that raised concerns about the necessity and timing of the birth dose. The committee, led by Robert Malone, decided to table the vote due to ambiguity surrounding the safety, effectiveness, and timing of the vaccine.

Members of the committee, including Cody Meissner, expressed concerns about the potential risks of delaying the vaccine, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that children receive the full hepatitis B vaccine series. Despite discussions questioning the data presented on the risks and benefits of the vaccine, the committee ultimately decided to postpone the vote.

The vote was initially scheduled for Thursday but was delayed to address a discrepancy in how the recommendation aligns with the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, which provides low-cost or free vaccines for uninsured or Medicaid-covered children. While officials did not specify how they plan to address the discrepancies, they emphasized the importance of ensuring that all children who need the hepatitis B shot can access it.

In addition to the hepatitis B vaccine discussion, the committee also voted on recommending separate measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccines for children under 4, instead of the combined MMRV vaccine. This decision may impact access to low-cost or free MMRV vaccines for some children covered by the VFC program. However, in a re-do vote, the committee moved to align the recommendation for the split vaccine for VFC-covered children.

While CDC studies have shown that the hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective, some committee members raised concerns about the lack of long-term safety research. Despite higher rates of irritability and fussiness observed in babies who received the vaccine, CDC studies have not found an increased risk of neurological problems. The committee also recommended that all pregnant individuals be tested for hepatitis B, although some experts questioned the committee’s authority over testing protocols.

Overall, the decision to postpone the vote on delaying infants’ first hepatitis B vaccine reflects the committee’s dedication to thoroughly evaluating the risks and benefits of vaccination recommendations. By addressing discrepancies and ensuring access to essential vaccines, the committee aims to continue the progress made in controlling the spread of hepatitis B.
