NewzPresident Trump has issued an executive order recommending that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine be administered as three separate doses across multiple appointments. The directive aims to alter the current standard of care, which typically involves a single combined injection for these three diseases.

Industry representatives have indicated they are uninterested in complying with the order, citing a lack of clinical evidence to support splitting the vaccine regimen.
