Trump to sign executive order calling for spacing out childhood shots
The order would recommend separate visits for each vaccine and split the measles, mumps and rubella shot into three doses, according to a White House fact sheet.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump will sign an executive order calling for revamped childhood vaccine recommendations that promote spacing shots into separate medical visits, according to a White House fact sheet first reported by The Daily Caller.
- Trump has long suspected that the number or timing of vaccines could play a role in autism spectrum disorder, despite scientific consensus and decades of studies firmly concluding there is no link between vaccines and autism.
- The order directs the health department to improve vaccine research and recommends separating the MMR vaccine into three different shots, though separate measles, mumps and rubella vaccines are not currently available in the U.S.
- Public health experts have raised concerns that spacing out shots as Trump suggests can lead to increased infection risk, particularly as the nation contends with a measles outbreak that could cost the U.S. its measles elimination status.
- The administration's shift in policy arrives as school years start around Washington and the country, complicating efforts to maintain immunization coverage amid an active measles outbreak.
