Trump Says There's "No Reason" to Vaccinate Babies Against Hepatitis B

US President Donald Trump declared on Monday (22) that there is “no reason” to vaccinate newborns against hepatitis B, an incurable and highly contagious disease, without presenting evidence of the benefits of this radical change.

"I would say wait until the baby is 12 and grown," Trump said, a recommendation that would imply a profound change in the vaccination protocols currently in place in the United States.
