Trump Administration Directs Federal Agencies to Align with Study Recommending Narrower Childhood Vaccine Guidelines

An executive order from President Trump directs federal agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to review a study that recommended an overhaul of childhood vaccine recommendations. The order calls for the CDC to take steps to update its guidelines, provide 'maximum flexibility to parents and doctors,' and ensure all agency actions align with the study's findings, which suggested the U.S. recommends more childhood vaccines than many peer nations.
