👀 First thing at the ACIP meeting: they admitted they didn’t understand what they voted on yesterday for the VFC. 😬 Sad they don’t even grasp the process or what they’re voting on. 🤦♂️ #PedsIDsky #Rxsky

ACIP voted to table the Hep B vote. ⏸️ A brief reprieve but concerning signals that some want to delay it beyond 30 days of life, which was on the vote today. 🤔 Infant hep B birth vaccine 💉 works and has dramatically reduced rates, preventing liver cancer, cirrhosis, and death. 💉 #PedsIDsky #Rxsky
