NM DOH Putting Kids AT RISK with HEP B Shot

Under Robert F Kennedy, the Federal Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) recently removed the universal recommendation for newborns to receive the Hepatitis B vaccine at birth. 

Hepatitis B is a sexually transmitted disease which women are screened for during pregnancy, so there is no need to universally give this vaccine to all newborns. 

Under NM's new SB3 vaccine law, the Department of Health is no longer relying on the Federal ACIP to determine NM's vaccination recommendations and requirements.  Thus, even though the ACIP has removed the recommendation for Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns, the NM Department of Health has refused to make this change and is continuing to recommend the vaccine for all newborns. 

According to Physicians for Informed Consent, the Hepatitis B vaccine:

• "contains 250 mcg of aluminum. This amount is 75 times greater than the maximum safe level of aluminum in the bloodstream.”

• may "cause an adverse event leading to permanent injury 180 times more often than hepatitis B can be fatal for U.S. children at normal risk of exposure."

• “has not been evaluated for its ‘carcinogenic or mutagenic potential,’ or its potential to impair fertility.”

The NM Department of Health is putting children at risk by REFUSING TO FOLLOW FEDERAL GUIDANCE AND CONTINUING TO RECOMMEND THE HEPATITIS B VACCINE FOR ALL NEWBORNS. 

PLEASE SHARE information about the risks of the Hepatitis B vaccine with parents, so they will be able to make informed decisions. https://physiciansforinformedconsent.org/hepatitis-b-vrs/
