Trump Administration Issues Executive Order to Revamp Childhood Vaccine Schedule, Sparking Public Health Concerns

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aiming to revise childhood vaccination recommendations, advocating for spacing out shots and potentially reducing the number of routinely recommended vaccines. Public health experts have voiced concerns that such changes, which include a call to separate the MMR vaccine into three shots (not currently available in the U.S.), could increase the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases and are not supported by scientific evidence.
