Hepatitis B vax

Coming down to the issue of giving it (Hepatitis B vax) on day one of life,
there are several issues that surround that. The first is when we did this
primate study giving that hepatitis B vaccine on day one. We looked for the
safety studies of that policy. What had been done to establish the safety of
giving it on day one? Not just giving it on day one but giving it on day one
to every infant whether they were born at 24 weeks or 30 weeks or 36 weeks
or 40 weeks, whatever their gestational…their birth weight was, whether they
were 10 lbs or 3 lbs or 2 lbs, they were getting the same shot at day one as
a matter of policy. Safety studies… We couldn't find them. And that was
really shocking, really shocking. How could this be? If you're going to make
a case for it, if you're going to do it, your'e going to make it a matter of
policy for every kid in the country then you'e got to be absolutely certain
that you got the safety set that is right because if not, you may produce
insidious problems, minor degrees of damage which you don't pick up straight
away but are catastrophic
I didn't know you did studies. Who funded you? Where is it published?
