"*According to the FDA, 45 cases of hair loss after a Hepatitis B vaccination has been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Effect Reporting System (VAERS). "
"According to the Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report, there were 358 reported cases of Hepatitis B in New York City and 438 cases in Upstate New York for all of 1992. Despite CDC claims that there would be 200,000 cases nationwide in 1992, there were, in fact, only 13,857 reported cases. The vast majority of these cases were contracted through high-risk sex, drug abuse and medical contact. Hepatitis B disease peaked in the mid 1980's and has been declining ever since. Despite these facts, our legislators in Albany are trying to mandate this vaccine for all newborn babies in New York State. The vaccine has been added to the list of mandated vaccines for entry to school."

The disease is not particularly contagious, being transmitted by body fluids, and, while serious, is usually not life-threatening. Those who recover are thought to have life-long immunity. Of those who do not fully recover, less that 5% become carriers. The incidence in the US is low (18003 cases in 1991 or about 0.00007% of the population). So why does the Centers for Disease Control recommend that every newborn be vaccinated?

In a letter to CDC on AAPS site:

Please cite the references for these statements. Note that this 33,000 figure grossly contradicts CDC report number 56, issued April, 1996, which states that 85 cases of hepatitis B were reported in children under the age of 15 in 1993, and that the rate was 21% lower than in 1992. If 90% of infected children are asymptomatic, then the true incidence was about 850 in 1993 and about 1100 in 1992. According to the Healthy People 2000 Review, the number of chronic infections in infants was 6,012 in 1987; 3,003 in 1990; 2,234 in 1991; and 2,464 in 1992 and 1993. According to the same report, only 16% of children age 19-35 months had received 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine in 1993. Can you reconcile these figures? Can you provide a reference for serological studies to identify chronic infection in asymptomatic children? - - - Read letter and reply
