Trump signs order calling for spacing out childhood vaccines, against medical groups’ guidance
U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order advocating for spaced-out childhood vaccinations, contradicting established medical guidance. This order directs the health department to enhance vaccine research and consider separate measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines, despite public health experts warning that such spacing may increase the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases. The announcement has drawn criticism from health professionals who argue it fosters confusion and undermines established vaccine protocols.
