American Academy of Pediatrics Calls Trump’s Vaccine Order ‘Dangerous’
The order would cut routine childhood shots from 18 to 11 and split the MMR vaccine, prompting warnings from pediatric groups and doctors in Congress.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order reducing routine childhood immunizations from 18 to 11 and mandating separation of combined shots like the MMR vaccine to align with peer nations.
- Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. framed the changes as restoring parental choice and informed consent, though scientific research has debunked assertions linking vaccines to autism that underpin the administration's rationale.
- With measles cases reaching a 35-year high, American Academy of Pediatrics President Andrew Racine called the order "disheartening but dangerous," while American Medical Association President Willie Underwood warned altering proven schedules risks weakening public confidence.
- The order directs the Department of Justice to challenge state vaccination laws conflicting with new standards; Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy warned that separating vaccines will increase hesitancy and make children less safe.
- States may face immediate litigation as the administration enforces revised standards nationwide; the policy specifically clashes with Maryland law, forcing jurisdictions to choose between federal alignment and existing school immunization requirements.
