WHO defends immunisation schedules after Trump orders fewer childhood shots
Medical groups said the plan lacks new evidence and could leave more children vulnerable to preventable diseases, Reuters reported.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order reducing the recommended childhood vaccination schedule to 11 immunizations and directing that the combined MMR vaccine be separated into three individual injections.
- The order advances a long-standing objective of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has previously promoted claims linking vaccines to autism despite scientific authorities finding no evidence of such a link.
- Physicians and vaccine manufacturer Merck warned that separating the MMR shot lacks scientific evidence and could increase the risk of delayed or missed vaccinations, leaving children vulnerable to preventable diseases.
- On Tuesday, the World Health Organization defended the science-based process used to determine immunization schedules, emphasizing that existing protocols are critical to maintaining public health across the United States.
- A federal judge blocked similar efforts by Kennedy to rewrite vaccine policy in March 2026, underscoring the legal hurdles facing the administration as it attempts to bypass established public health protocols.
