In this episode of Wellness Unmasked, Dr. Nicole Saphier breaks down the growing debate over universal hepatitis B vaccination for newborns. With the CDC’s ACIP committee reconsidering whether infants born to hepatitis B–negative mothers should receive the birth dose, Dr. Saphier examines the latest data, public-health implications, and potential policy shifts. She explores arguments on both sides, the importance of accurate maternal screening, and how changes to long-standing vaccine recommendations could impact parents, providers, and public trust. Wellness Unmasked is part of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Podcast Network - new episodes debut every Tuesday & Friday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
