NEW YORK (Reuters) -Senator Bill Cassidy on Wednesday when asked if Americans should have confidence in the decision if the CDC’s new advisory panel makes recommendations to change the childhood vaccine schedule, said they should not.
Cassidy speaking to reporters said that the Hepatitis B shot, given at birth, had decreased the number of children with the disease from 20,000 per year to about 20. He also said that the vaccine schedule contained recommendations, not mandates.
