Hepatitis B vaccination is so important for #TxID - it would be a real loss for public health as a whole as well as future transplant candidates to lose out on this opportunity for universal vaccination - please comment on this ACIP proposal! @ast-idcop.bsky.social
Calling all concerned friends of public health!!!
The next ACIP meeting is on Dec 4-5, 2025.
They will likely be voting on newborn Hep B vaccination.
Take action by submitting public comments opposing changes to the schedule. Comments close on Nov 24, 2025!

Wow - check out this incredible story about a well-known actor pursuing altruistic kidney donation www.latimes.com/entertainmen... @astinfo.bsky.social
For his next trick, Jesse Eisenberg will make his kidney disappear — into a stranger
Jesse Eisenberg is about to donate one of his kidneys to a stranger. The 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' star called the move a 'no-brainer.'
