Trump Signs Order Directing CDC to Align with Assessment Calling for Fewer Childhood Vaccines
The order backs an HHS assessment that would cut routine childhood shots from 17 to 11 and keep vaccines covered without cost-sharing.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the CDC to review an HHS study calling for reducing childhood vaccines, a change long championed by Health Secretary Robert.
- The Department of Health and Human Services study recommends reducing recommended childhood immunizations from 17 to 11, aiming to align U.S. vaccine policy with strategies used in Denmark.
- Under the plan, the CDC would transition vaccines for influenza, COVID-19, and RSV to 'shared decision-making' categories, recommending them only for high-risk groups rather than all children.
- The American Medical Association criticized the directive, with AMA President Bobby Mukkamala stating, "There is no credible scientific evidence" to support such a change and that current schedules protect vulnerable children.
- States retain authority over vaccination requirements for schools, and past administration attempts to narrow recommendations faced a federal injunction from a Massachusetts judge that remains under appeal.
