Urgent: Hepatitis B Vaccination for Newborns

The West Coast Health Alliance, CDPH, and Leading National Medical Organizations Continue to Recommend Hepatitis B Vaccination for Newborns

December 5, 2025

NR25-022

WCHA disagrees with CDC’s Advisory Committee’s change to decades-long vaccine recommendation that has reduced pediatric Hepatitis B infections by 99 percent

What You Need to Know: Hepatitis B is a highly infectious virus that attacks the liver and can cause serious illness and death. The hepatitis B vaccination is an effective way to prevent infection and its complications. New ACIP recommendations could lead to more children and adults getting liver disease and liver cancer.​​

SACRAMENTO – The West Coast Health Alliance (WCHA) strongly supports that hepatitis B vaccination continue to be routinely offered to all newborns, with the first dose of the vaccine given within 24 hours of birth for newborns weighing at least 2,000 grams (4 pounds, 7 ounces), followed by completion of the vaccine series. This recommendation aligns with trusted national medical organizations including the American Academy of Pediatrics [2]​, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists​, [3] and the Infectious Diseases Society of America [4].​
