Vaccines play a critical role in the prevention and control of infectious diseases and have led to the eradication of several diseases and significant reductions in illnesses and fatalities.

A statement from more than 40 leading medical, health and patient advocacy organizations in response to this week’s ACIP meeting:

"We are deeply alarmed by the actions taken this week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The apparent goal of this meeting was to sow doubt in vaccines rather than advance sound vaccine policy, and we will all pay a price for that.

This is a significant departure from the historic role ACIP has played in shaping vaccine policy in the United States. Previously, we could expect science to drive decisions, experts to debate evidence, and consensus to lead to shared, clear recommendations. That is not the case with the current committee, and this change puts Americans’ health at risk.

The evidence remains clear: the hepatitis B birth dose is safe and an essential component in helping children develop immunity against a serious, potentially lifelong disease. In fact, since the U.S. implemented the hepatitis B birth dose in 1991, annual hepatitis B infections among infants and children have dropped 99%, from 16,000 to less than 20. This progress is directly attributable to timely vaccination.

ACIP’s actions will harm children, their families and the medical professionals who care for them. That is why we are joining together to speak up. American families deserve information grounded in science and clear, consistent guidance – not speculation intended to scare them. We urge the CDC leaders to reject ACIP’s new recommendation and instead retain the current, evidence-based approach.”

The ACIP decision to discontinue the recommendation for a universal hepatitis B birth dose vaccine will cause harm.

The best scientific evidence shows that the hepatitis B vaccine should be given to infants as soon as possible after birth and that children receive the full hepatitis B vaccine series, as recommended by AAP.

As the federal government continues to fail children's health, families can rely on our nation's physicians to continue to put children's health first.

La Academia Americana de Pediatría recomiendan la vacunación contra Hepatitis B en el nacimiento y sus Pediatras Dr. Domingo Betances Santos y Dra. Johana Betances López también.

No se dejen engañar por pensamientos antivax que ponen en riesgo a nuestros niños de condiciones prevenibles.

A statement from American Academy of Pediatrics President, Dr. Susan J. Kressly:

The decision by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to downgrade its recommendations to protect infants from hepatitis B is a dangerous move that will harm children.

The American Academy of Pediatrics continues to recommend routine hepatitis B vaccination for all newborns: All babies should receive a first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth, a second dose at one to two months, and a third dose at six months. The pacing of these doses has been rigorously tested and proven to be safe and effective over several decades.

Vaccinating all newborns against hepatitis B effectively prevents transmission of the virus to newborns during childbirth, supports them to build immunity against potential childhood infections, and ensures long-term protection into adulthood from a virus that can cause serious liver disease and liver cancer. Infants and children can be exposed to this virus by close caregivers who may not know they are infected. Delaying the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine has no clear benefits and leaves children vulnerable to infection.

Recomendación de vacuna 💉 de COVID 🦠en niñ@s:

• Todos los pacientes menores de 2 años 🍼, excepto aquellos con alergia conocida a la vacuna.
• Niños y adolescentes de 2 a 18 años con alto riesgo de enfermedad severa ⚠️.
• También se recomienda a todos los demás niños, si sus padres desean que estén vacunados 👍.

TRADUCCIÓN de post de la Academia Americana de Pediatría:

"Las nuevas decisiones sobre las vacunas pediátricas contra la COVID-19 están creando obstáculos para los padres que buscan vacunar a sus hijos. En su último artículo, The New York Times comparte historias de padres de todo el país que tienen dificultades para acceder a estas vacunas, ya que muchas farmacias ya no tienen dosis pediátricas.

La AAP sigue recomendando a los pediatras y a los padres que sigan nuestro calendario de vacunación basado en la evidencia, que recomienda que todos los niños menores de 2 años se vacunen contra la COVID-19. Los niños mayores con alto riesgo de enfermedad grave, así como cualquier niño cuyos padres deseen vacunarlos, también deberían poder acceder a la vacuna.

Se anima a los padres a hablar con el pediatra de su hijo si tienen alguna pregunta sobre la vacuna contra la COVID-19. Lea el artículo completo del New York Times en el enlace a continuación."

New decisions regarding pediatric COVID-19 vaccines are creating obstacles for parents seeking vaccinations for their children. In its latest piece, The New York Times shares stories from parents across the country struggling to access these vaccines, as many pharmacies are no longer carrying pediatric doses.

The AAP continues to recommend pediatricians and parents follow our evidence-based immunization schedule, which recommends every child under age 2 be vaccinated against COVID-19. Older children at high-risk of severe illness, as well as any child whose parents wish to have them vaccinated, should also be able to access the vaccine.

Parents are encouraged to speak with their child’s pediatrician if they have any questions on the COVID-19 vaccine for their kids. Read the full New York Times piece at the link below.
