Global Health Policy Debate and Yale Professor Critique
Professor Jason Schwartz of Yale University criticized the CDC's Hepatitis B recommendation on the BBC, arguing it creates confusion and undermines public health infrastructure. The segment notes that the primary manufacturers of the vaccine are British companies like GlaxoSmithKline, which may explain the BBC's significant interest in the US policy change. Critics of the new policy worry it will lead to a broader decline in childhood immunization rates.
