Trump signs executive order to change childhood vaccine schedule
Trump order makes recommendations about the childhood vaccine schedule and recommens that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine be split into three separate shots.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday that alters recommendations regarding the childhood vaccine schedule. Specifically, the order proposes that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine be split into three separate shots. While there will likely be no immediate impact on vaccine access, the executive order is expected to face legal challenges.
Trump, who asserts a link between vaccines and autism without evidence, claims the changes reflect the United States' gold standard childhood vaccination recommendations, although this is disputed by medical and public health communities.
