The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is meeting December 4 to 5 2025 and they are once again debating whether to keep injecting every single newborn in America with the hepatitis B vaccine on their very first day of life, even though the only real risk comes from an infected mother (who is already tested during pregnancy).

Make sure you include the Docket number: Docket Number: CDC-2025-0783

 

This is one of the last chances in 2025 for the public to weigh in before they vote. The comment period closes TONIGHT (Nov 24) at 11:59 p.m. ET. I just submitted mine through the official federal docket (CDC 2025 0783). It takes literally two minutes and every single comment gets read. If you think day old babies shouldn’t be treated like IV drug users or promiscuous adults, speak up now.

Re: December 4 to 5 2025 ACIP Meeting Hepatitis B Vaccine Recommendations

Dear ACIP Members and CDC Staff,

Kozi

I strongly urge the Advisory Committee to discontinue the recommendation for universal hepatitis B vaccination of newborns and to terminate the practice of administering the vaccine at birth to infants who are not at identifiable risk.

Newborn infants in the United States have essentially zero behavioral risk of hepatitis B infection (intravenous drug use or sexual transmission). The only significant remaining risk is perinatal transmission from an infected mother. Because all pregnant women are already screened for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) during routine prenatal care, high risk infants can be identified and offered both hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and vaccine immediately after birth. For the overwhelming majority of infants born to HBsAg negative mothers, the birth dose is unnecessary.

The hepatitis B vaccine is not risk free. A close friend of mine received the vaccine as a young adult (strongly recommended by her college for clinical training) and within weeks developed a severe autoimmune condition that caused her skin to turn black and blue, widespread itching, and years of sleepless nights and suffering. I have also learned of numerous reports of serious adverse events, including permanent injury, following hepatitis B vaccination in children and adults. When the actual risk of disease in newborns is near zero, any non trivial risk from the vaccine becomes unacceptable.

For these reasons, universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth should be ended. Vaccination decisions for low risk infants should be left entirely to informed parents, and the vaccine should never be mandated for school entry or any other purpose when safer, targeted strategies already exist.

Thank you for considering this public comment.

Sincerely,

Kozi
