Weekly Healthcare Policy Round-Up

In this week’s Health Policy Round-Up, ALF shares the most up to date news happening in Washington DC.

• This week American Liver Foundation sent a letter to the Acting Director at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Jim O’Neil, expressing our deep concern about the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendation to narrow the hepatitis B immunization guidance for newborns. The universal hep B birth dose has reduced infant hep B infections by 95% since its inception in 1991. ALF will continue to monitor the situation.
