The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisory committee has voted to end its longstanding recommendation that all newborns receive a hepatitis B shot at birth, instead limiting the guidance to infants at higher risk. President Donald Trump praised the move and signed a memorandum directing a broader review of the childhood vaccination schedule, signaling a major shift in U.S. vaccine policy.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, changed language on its vaccine safety website to say the statement “vaccines do not cause autism” is not evidence‑based, a notable departure from prior CDC messaging that cited studies finding no link.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released new data showing that autism spectrum disorder affects 1 in 36 eight-year-old children, an increase from previous years. The findings, based on surveillance from 11 U.S. sites, highlight ongoing trends without identifying a single cause. Experts emphasize the need for continued research and support services.
