The news section, July 31, 1998 Science (a mag put out by AAAS)
had a story about some new concerns that the hepatitus B
vaccine might cause multiple sclerosis.  Vaccine officials are
quoted as saying the public doesn't need to know about
these risks.

They are now doing a study to measure the risk, but still
vaccinating newborns in the meantime.

IMMUNOLOGY:
A Shadow Falls on Hepatitis B Vaccination Effort
Eliot Marshall
Abstract
In the 1980s, public health officials in Europe and the United States
mandated hepatitis B immunization of adults in high-risk categories, such as
health care workers, and, in 1991, all newborns. Critics are now blaming the
widely used vaccine for many ills, including autoimmune diseases such as
multiple sclerosis. To back up their claims, they mainly cite anecdotes and
a theory of molecular mimicry, similar to one proposed for Lyme disease
arthritis (see pp. 631 and 703)--but scant data. Vaccine safety officials
interviewed by Science say they've seen no evidence that autoimmune diseases
are appearing at a higher rate among vaccinated people. Nevertheless,
several groups are seeking compensation from governments and manufacturers
or demanding an end to mandatory vaccination.
