The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine safety panel on Friday morning agreed to postpone a decision to no longer recommend the newborn dose of the hepatitis B vaccine.

The vote from all but one of the 12 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices comes as a de-escalation in the mounting tensions over vaccine policy under the leadership of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime skeptic of the status quo on childhood vaccines.
