Trump's Executive Order Proposes Separating Childhood Vaccines Amid Expert Concerns
President Donald Trump's executive order proposes separating combination childhood vaccines like MMR into individual shots and increasing spacing between immunizations. Public health experts criticize the plan, citing lack of scientific support and concerns over increased costs, logistical challenges, and risks of missed doses. Implementing the changes would require drugmakers to restart production of individual vaccines not marketed separately in decades, involving costly studies and new manufacturing. States maintain authority over school vaccination mandates, which may limit the order's impact.
