Trump Says some Routine Immunizations Will Be Split Into Five Separate Shots. Vaccine Experts Say It Won’t Work
Trump said the plan would space smaller doses six months apart, while critics said it could weaken protection and lacks scientific support.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump announced his administration plans to demand drug manufacturers split certain childhood immunizations into five separate doses, each given at six-month intervals.
- Trump claimed these smaller doses would lead to a "massive reduction in autism," arguing that current vaccine volumes pumped into children's bodies are dangerously large.
- Vaccine inventor Paul Offit criticized the proposal as "buffoonery," warning that splitting doses would render vaccines ineffective by creating sub-immunogenic levels unable to induce protective immune responses.
- HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy embraced the administration's stance Thursday at a Health Defense conference, telling attendees, "you have a strong and steadfast friend at the White House."
- It remains unclear which vaccines the administration will target, as previous attempts to overhaul the federal childhood immunization schedule were temporarily blocked by a federal judge earlier this year.
