Hepatitis B Vaccine Schedule for Infants: Republican Senator Express 'Concern' Over Potential Change

Chairman Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) speaks during a hearing with the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on September 17, 2025 in Washington, DC. The committee is hearing testimony from fired CDC employees and the implications on children’s health.

Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana expressed his "concern" for the potential change to the hepatitis B vaccine schedule for infants in the United States.

The lawmaker's concern comes as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s panel of federal vaccine advisers will come together to talk about and potentially vote on a change to the vaccine schedule when they meet for the next time on Dec. 4.
