JANUARY 21, 2025 PRESS RELEASE APIAHF STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP'S DAY ONE EXECUTIVE ORDERS JANUARY 21, 2025 WASHINGTON — Yesterday, Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. On his first day in office, he issued a series of executive orders affecting critical issues, including health care, birthright citizenship, immigration, reproductive access, diversity and equity, and protections for LGBTQ+ individuals, among others – some contravening long-standing issues of law. Juliet K. Choi, president & CEO of the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum gave the following statement: “We are deeply disturbed by the sweeping actions President Trump has taken on his first day in office to eliminate and erode the constitutional rights of Americans. Despite distancing and disavowing some of the policies outlined in Project 2025 during his 2024 campaign, President Trump has swiftly moved to implement many of them through these executive orders. “This is not the direction that the American people voted for, and we have grave concerns about the immediate and lasting harm that these actions will inflict on families and communities across the country. The Asian & Pacific Islander Health Forum stands firm in our commitment to protecting and defending the rights of our community and health access for all.” # # # Achieving health equity for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities through law, policy and practice.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 PRESS RELEASE APIAHF & NCAPIP STATEMENT ON VOTE TO END UNIVERSAL HEPATITIS B SHOTS FOR NEWBORNS DECEMBER 5, 2025 WASHINGTON —Today, a federal vaccine advisory committee voted 8–3 to recommend ending the longstanding policy that all U.S. newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine at birth. The new guidance suggests that only infants whose mothers test positive for hepatitis B, or whose maternal infection status is unknown, should be guaranteed the birth dose. For all other infants, the decision would be deferred to parents and doctors. “We are deeply concerned by today’s vote. The universal birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine has been a critical public health safeguard—especially for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities that bear a disproportionate burden of chronic hepatitis B and account for over 50–58% of all Americans living with chronic hepatitis B," said Juliet K. Choi, president and CEO of APIAHF. "Removing this broad protection will not only jeopardize decades of progress, it will leave too many infants vulnerable simply because of gaps in maternal testing or delayed diagnosis. We call on public health leaders to uphold proven, equitable preventative care.” “The Hepatitis B vaccine is safe and it works — physicians and other medical professionals have administered the vaccine for over 40 years with millions of doses given," said Susan Wu, MD, Pediatrician and Board Member, NCAPIP. "Eliminating universal Hepatitis B vaccine at birth will result in more children becoming infected with a disease which is preventable and has no cure.“ APIAHF and NCAPIP urge federal and state health authorities, hospitals, and pediatric providers to continue offering the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine as standard practice and encourage parents, especially in AANHPI and other high-risk communities, to consult with their healthcare providers about timely vaccination. # # # Achieving health equity for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities through law, policy and practice. NCAPIP represents Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander physicians committed to the advancement of the health and well-being of their patients and communities, with the goal of optimal health for all.

AUGUST 29, 2023 PRESS RELEASE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCES FIRST 10 DRUGS FOR MEDICARE NEGOTIATION AUGUST 29, 2023 WASHINGTON —Today, the Biden administration announced the first round of high-cost prescription drugs for which Medicare will negotiate lower prices as part of the Inflation Reduction Act. “We applaud the Biden administration for taking decisive action to expand benefits and lower drug costs for all Americans,” said Juliet K. Choi, president and CEO of the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF). “We encourage drug manufacturers to work with the Biden administration to make these lifesaving and life-changing products available to recipients of Medicare at a reduced cost.

The first ten drugs will provide immediate financial relief to millions of hard-working families.” The first 10 drugs are: Eliquis: For prevention and treatment of blood clots Enbrel: For treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis Entresto: For treatment heart failure Farxiga: For treatment of treat diabetes, heart failure and chronic kidney disease Imbruvica: For treatment of blood cancers Fiasp/Novolog: For treatment of diabetes Januvia: For treatment of diabetes Jardiance: For treatment of diabetes and heart failure Stelara: For treatment of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis Xarelto: For prevention and treatment of blood clots and reduction of risk for patients with coronary or peripheral artery disease To learn more about the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program, view the ASPE factsheet and CMS factsheet. # # # The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) influences policy, mobilizes communities and strengthens programs and organizations to improve the health of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.
