(Reuters) -A group of independent U.S. vaccine experts said on Thursday it plans to review existing data on administering the hepatitis B vaccine at birth after a federal vaccine panel postponed a vote in September aimed at delaying the first dose of the shot.
The Vaccine Integrity Project, an initiative dedicated to safeguarding vaccine use in the United States, said it plans to complete the review of the data supporting long-standing recommendation for universal hepatitis B vaccination by early December.
