Trump Signs Order Directing CDC to Align with Assessment Calling for Fewer Childhood Vaccines

The order directs federal agencies to align vaccine guidance with a January assessment that recommended 11 routine shots for children, down from 17.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the CDC to align vaccine recommendations with a HHS assessment that calls for fewer childhood immunizations.
  • Health Secretary Robert Kennedy initiated this overhaul after firing the previous vaccine advisory committee last June to install new members aligned with his skepticism of vaccines.
  • Proposed reductions would lower recommended immunizations for children from 17 to 11 diseases to provide "maximum flexibility to parents and doctors," the White House said.
  • The American Academy of Pediatrics released its own childhood vaccine recommendations in response, while a federal judge previously blocked similar attempts, finding the government "disregarded" traditional processes.
  • States maintain authority over school vaccination requirements despite CDC guidance influence, though Dr. Jose Romero noted "Children in the United States are at risk of different diseases" than peer nations like Denmark.
