CDC officially updates hepatitis B policy, recommending ‘individual-based decision-making’ for mothers

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now officially recommends "individual-based decision-making" for women deciding whether to give the hepatitis-B to their newborns within 24 hours of birth, as opposed to universally recommending that all newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine.
