Trump signs order calling for spacing out childhood vaccines, against medical groups' guidance
Americas4 sources3 countries57m ago
On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order calling for fewer childhood vaccines and recommending the splitting of mumps, measles, and rubella (MMR) shots. Trump stated that children historically received a smaller fraction of the vaccines required today when people were healthier.
In response, the president of the American Medical Association criticized the order, stating that the new recommendations put children's health at risk. This condemnation aligns the organization with a broader chorus of medical experts who have voiced criticism regarding the administration's new directives on childhood immunizations.
