US vaccine panel may vote on hepatitis B shots in December

Retuers The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisory committee is scheduled to meet on December 4 and 5, and could vote on policy concerning shots for hepatitis B, a Federal Register notice from the agency showed on Wednesday.

The members of the panel, selected by health secretary and vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr., abandoned a vote at their most recent meeting in September that would have delayed the first hepatitis B vaccine dose for most newborns under federal recommendations.
