In a shocking – yet unsurprising – move, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recently voted to end universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendations for newborns. Pediatrician and allergist Dr. Zachary Rubin called it a dark day for our babies and public health. He and Chelsea discuss the very real impacts of this vote, how bad the flu season could get this holiday season, and why allergies are on the rise. Plus, he debunks myths we’ve all fallen for about local honey, vitamin C, and hypoallergenic pets.
