The mandate for newborn Hepatitis B vaccination is finally being rolled back. It has been a long and draining road to get here but the policy change is official. We will stay vigilant to ensure this new standard is followed across all hospitals.

Parents experiencing childbirth, especially first-time parents, are presented with a barrage of new experiences and information. Medical experts used to be concerned over vaccinating children from age 0-2 due concern that adverse events may be more likely given an infant's small body weight. Studies have shown that low gestational age and low birthweight are useful predictors of risk of autism in vaccinated children. Given that vaccines contain neurotoxins such as aluminum. This makes sense from a toxicological stand point in which body weight determines toxicity. Babies are now being vaccinated on their first or second day of life against Hepatitis B, a disease that is contracted via sharing needles or having sex with an infected person. The CDC's own information on HepB calls for a booster shot - before the time any child is likely to be exposed. Babies born to mothers with HepB infection may be an exception. This indiscriminate use of vaccines shows a lack of regard for the FDA's repeated and consistently stated concerns over the tolerance of individuals to neurotoxins in vaccines. We urge the FDA to (1) analyze the dose exposure to neurotoxins in the first two years of life under the CDC's schedule considering birthweight, (2) to issue a statement reminding the medical community to consider pre-existing conditions for medical exemptions (Criteria C), and (3) to ban unnecessary vaccinations such as HepB thereby protect the infants from unnecessary vaccinations until they achieve a birthweight sufficient to tolerate the doses of vaccines on the CDC pediatric schedule.

The silence from the agencies we contacted is heavy but it only proves why we need to keep pushing for answers about these early exposures. I am exhausted by the constant uphill battle to get them to acknowledge the risk to our newborns. We will keep moving forward even when the progress feels slow and the responses stay thin.

Maternal immuno interference from prior HepB vaccinations makes this day one vaccine event a fraudulent waste money...healthcare dollars going out the door to protect a neonate already protected by antibodies to HepB vaccine is an obvious change needing address by change in policy.

There is no need to start vaccinating on day one of life. There is no need for this vaccine. I work in healthcare. I had an adverse reaction in my twenties. I am in my 40s now. I have worked with 1 hep B patient.

Both parents test negative for Hep each of their three pregnancies. Why do their newborns receive this? For profit. Thanks for nothing.

on the first day of his life my son received the Hep B. They brought him back to me with rashed skin I was afraid to touch lest it fall off. He was red and inflamed and his eyes were so swollen shut. It was the beginning of his descent into autism. Should have never happened. And now, 19 years later, he pays for it daily

The risk of injecting newborns does not outweigh the benefits (zero) for a virus obtained as an STD or by intravenous drug use. By the time the child advances in age, any antibodies would no longer be effective for child, by the time they might be at risk to contract Hep B.

There is no logical reason for this vaccine at that stage of development.

Babies do not need to be vaccinated when they are days old! Stop the madness!
