Trump issues order on children's vaccines
U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order calling for a review of school vaccination requirements, emphasizing the separation of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine into three individual doses instead of the currently approved combined vaccine, aiming to reduce complaints and reasons for vaccine refusal. The order includes recommendations for states and territories to review these requirements and establish a team to study providing the MMR vaccine separately while maintaining the availability of the combined vaccine. This move comes amidst a rise in measles cases and critiques from some vaccination advocates, and is part of the broader American debate over childhood vaccines—especially with concerns being voiced about their safety and criticisms directed at federal government policies in this area.
