  "summary": "President Trump has signed an executive order changing the country's childhood vaccination recommendations. The order reduces the number of vaccines routinely recommended for children, from covering 18 diseases to 11 core diseases. According to CBS News, this change comes as kids head back to school amid the worst measles outbreak in decades.\n\nThe new recommendations still cover diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, and chickenpox. The order also directs that childhood immunisations be given at separate medical visits \"to the maximum extent feasible\". This move has been criticised by doctors and public health experts, who warn that spacing out vaccinations could leave children vulnerable to preventable diseases.\n\nThe American Academy of Pediatrics has expressed concern over the executive order, with its president Dr. Andrew Racine saying it is \"not only disheartening but dangerous\". The changes have also drawn criticism from experts who argue that decades of research have found no evidence of a link between childhood vaccines and autism, contrary to Trump's long-standing claims.",
