President Trump ordered his top health officials Friday night to review all U.S. childhood vaccination recommendations and align them with the "best practices" from other developed countries.
Why it matters: It's a vote of confidence in Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s handpicked advisory panel on vaccines, which voted earlier Friday to to drop the decades-old federal recommendation that all infants receive the hepatitis B vaccine at birth.
- The Centers for Disease Control panel "made a very good decision to END their Hepatitis B Vaccine Recommendation for babies, the vast majority of whom are at NO RISK of Hepatitis B," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
