CDC committee members, some of whom are vaccine skeptics, are likely to recommend restricting the use of hepatitis B shots at birth or delaying them. The vaccine is credited by public health experts with nearly eliminating maternal transmission of the disease in the U.S.

Compared to antibiotics, vaccines:
✓ Act prophylactically at low pathogen burden
✓ Less prone to inducing resistance due to multifactorial nature of immune pressure
