PAIC Calls on Federal and State Leaders to Uphold Evidence-Based Hepatitis B Vaccine Policy
The Pennsylvania Immunization Coalition (PAIC) has issued a letter to Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senators, Senator Bill Cassidy, and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) expressing concern over recent actions related to the hepatitis B birth-dose recommendation. The letter underscores the critical role of evidence-based, science-driven immunization policy in protecting infants from preventable disease and maintaining equitable access to vaccines. PAIC urges policymakers and advisory bodies to uphold longstanding public health recommendations that reflect robust scientific evidence and prioritize the health and safety of children and families.
