Ending the practice of immunizing all newborns against hepatitis B, as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has recommended, would sharply increase the number of chronic infections and put more than half of Americans at risk of the disease by age 20, according to a new study published Monday. Hepatitis B is a highly contagious virus that can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. To prevent infections, doctors in the United States have for decades administered the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine to all babies within 24 hours of birth -- and within 12 hours to infants whose mother is known to be infected. But last December, a panel of advisers chosen by Kennedy recommended that parents should decide whether, or when, infants should get the shot if they were born to mothers who test negative for hepatitis B. In those cases, the group said, parents should decide “no earlier than 2 months of age.”Get Starting PointA guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.

A pair of Brockton brothers were sentenced to four months in prison Monday for stealing nearly $200,000 from a credit union where one of them worked, federal prosecutors said. Jenel Flounoury, 30, and Justin Flounoury, 34, were also each sentenced to three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a joint restitution of $197,146, according to the office of Leah B. Foley, US Attorney for Massachusetts. The two pleaded guilty in July to one count of conspiracy to commit larceny from a credit union in federal court in Boston, prosecutors said in a statement. According to Foley’s office, Jenel and Justin Flounoury conspired to stage a robbery of Energy Credit Union in West Roxbury, where Jenel worked as a teller. On Sept. 24, 2024, Justin left his job in South Boston early and was driven to the credit union, the statement said. Wearing a hat, sunglasses, mask and dark clothing, Justin went to the teller window where Jenel was working and handed him a note that read “Hand it Over,” officials said.

George F. Bush, 100, was joined by Patriots owner Robert Kraft, left and his son, Jonathan, the team's president, on Oct. 11. Courtesy PhotoGeorge F. Bush won’t let anything make him miss a New England Patriots game — not even being 100-years-old. He has 100 percent attendance, too, having never missed a single home game in his 57 years as a season ticket holder, according to a statement. Bush, a lifelong Turners Falls resident, was on the turf at Gillette Stadium Oct. 11, meeting New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his son Jonathan. And that was just three days after the big milestone birthday. The Pats won the game, 45-17, over the Las Vegas Raiders. The World War II Navy veteran even celebrated his 88th birthday at another game in 2014, partying in the parking lot and eating marble cake, the Globe reported. “Bush has made the trip to Foxborough for every game, through rain, sleet, hail and snow, whether kickoff is scheduled for the afternoon or late at night,” with Dave Bernard, a family friend, driving him to the games, the statement read. For Bush, sports have always been a part of his life.
