Trump’s new childhood vaccine order ‘not supported’ by evidence, experts say

Healthcare groups in Canada have dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump's recent executive order on childhood vaccines as unsupported by evidence. Canada's pediatric society maintains its adherence to the country's standard immunization schedule created by medical professionals based on scientific research. The Canadian Public Health Association also expressed concern over the U.S. order, stating that it lacks current evidence and should not prompt any alteration in children's vaccinations in Canada.

The World Health Organization expressed its disagreement with the order, saying it is not aligned with decades of evidence on the best vaccination practices for children. Trump's order calls for spacing out MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine doses, recommending separate medical visits for each shot and increasing vaccine research. However, the order does not change Canada's vaccine recommendations.
