President Trump Orders Agencies to Align with Study on Childhood Vaccine Reduction
President Trump has signed an executive order directing federal agencies to align with a study by the Department of Health and Human Services that recommends reducing the number of vaccines for American children. The study, supported by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., suggests maintaining universal vaccinations for 11 diseases while moving others, such as flu and hepatitis, to high-risk categories. This move follows a previous attempt to narrow vaccine recommendations, which was blocked by a federal judge. The administration is appealing the decision, and the order aims to provide flexibility to parents and doctors in vaccine decision-making.
