Hepatitis B vaccination is so important for #TxID - it would be a real loss for public health as a whole as well as future transplant candidates to lose out on this opportunity for universal vaccination - please comment on this ACIP proposal! @ast-idcop.bsky.social
Calling all concerned friends of public health!!!
The next ACIP meeting is on Dec 4-5, 2025.
They will likely be voting on newborn Hep B vaccination.
Take action by submitting public comments opposing changes to the schedule. Comments close on Nov 24, 2025!
