Hey there from CNN. I'm David Rind with the five things you need to know for Friday, December 5th.

All right, if you're a parent, especially of a young child, you're going to want to listen up.

There is big news today about childhood vaccines.

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Panel has just voted to recommend

abandoning universal hepatitis B vaccination for newborns.

We've got CNN medical correspondent Meg Terrell here to break down what this means.

So it's still recommended that a birth dose be given to babies whose moms test positive or whose

status is unknown. So this is for moms who test negative. And here they say they recommend individual-based

decision-making. So essentially leaving that option up to the parents along with their health

care provider. Outside experts, though, pointed out, there's no reason to make that change. And in

fact, it protects infants against a very dangerous virus that can be passed not just from the mother, but from other people around the baby as well.

The CDC typically accepts the panel's recommendations, and it's worth noting that committee members were handpicked by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,

a longtime anti-vaccine activist who also fired the previous 17 sitting members earlier this year.

We'll have more in just a bit, including some huge news for Hollywood and your streaming services.

Stick around.
