Trump’s vaccine plan would require millions of individual shots last used decades ago
The order gives federal agencies 90 days to draft plans, while experts say splitting the shots would take years and cost millions.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order requiring a childhood schedule of 11 vaccinations, including separating the MMR vaccine into individual shots, and directed federal agencies 90 days to develop implementation plans.
- Every vaccine approved by the FDA for measles, mumps and rubella is currently a combination shot, and individual measles vaccines have not been widely produced in the U.S. for 50 years.
- The Associated Press reported that dividing the MMR vaccine into three separate parts would require six office visits for parents, while spacing out other shots could multiply these trips further.
- Since only state governments hold the legal authority to require vaccinations for schoolchildren, the White House recommends states update their legislation, relying on voluntary compliance rather than enforceable federal mandates.
- Organizations may have to demonstrate the safety of new manufacturing facilities, as creating individual vaccines would take years and require drug manufacturers to spend millions on new studies and production infrastructure.
