What were the committees conclusions regarding hepatitis B vaccine and demyelinating neurological disorders?
The committee concluded that the scientific evidence favors rejection of a causal relationship between hepatitis B vaccination in adults and MS. However, the committee felt that there was not enough evidence to accept or reject a causal relationship between the hepatitis B vaccine and other specified demyelinating conditions. The committee also concluded that there is only weak evidence for biological mechanisms by which hepatitis B vaccination could possibly cause demyelinating neurological disorders.
