California resists efforts to weaken vaccine schedule
Health officials in California have defended the safety of the state's established childhood vaccination schedule amid efforts by the Trump administration to modify it. The official emphasized that vaccines are safe, important for children's health, and credited California’s vaccination requirements with controlling measles outbreaks. President Trump’s executive order proposing to split the MMR vaccine into separate shots and give vaccines at different visits has faced strong opposition from pediatric and infectious disease groups, citing lack of scientific basis and potential logistical challenges. Despite the order, California’s vaccine laws remain unchanged, maintaining high immunization rates that prevent large outbreaks, even as measles cases have resurged nationally.
