President Donald Trump on Dec. 5 welcomed U.S. vaccine advisers scrapping a long-standing recommendation that all American newborns receive the hepatitis B shot, and signed a memo to review aligning child immunization recommendations with best practices from "peer, developed countries."
If the health secretary and CDC director "determine those best practices are superior to current domestic recommendations, they are directed to update the United States core childhood vaccine schedule to align with such scientific evidence and best practices from peer, developed countries while preserving access to vaccines currently available to Americans," a White House factsheet said.
