No, Skanksy,

The only new part of the recommendation is that at to newborns of mothers who test negative for hep B, the vaccination should not be mandated, but rather, a medical decision left up to the mother and the physician.

Hep B vaccines for newborns only because mandated in the early 1990's.

What's the science behind mandatory vaccination for newborns whose moms test negative? Is there any science?

Or, is the deal (as Biden might say) that Hepatitis B is "stigmatizing" and therefore EVERYONE must get it, so as not to single out the infected moms and their newborns?

That's not science.

Maybe we should also mandate that all newborns get HIV vaccines regardless of whether their parents, or the newborns themselves, have tested negative for it.
