Trump Signs Executive Order to Revise Childhood Vaccine Schedule and Separate MMR Shots
US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to revise childhood vaccine recommendations, including reducing the number of routine vaccines to 11 and separating the combined measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine into three individual shots. The order directs the Health Department to improve vaccine research and explore making separate MMR vaccines available, which are not currently offered in the US. Public health experts warn that spacing out vaccines could increase disease risk and emphasize that no scientific link exists between vaccines and autism. States retain authority over school vaccine mandates.
