Trump signs executive order to maximize parental choice in childhood vaccinations

The new Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations aim to align immunization schedules with practices in other developed nations. Trump claims this shift will increase parental choice. He previously argued that the United States recommended more vaccines than any peer nation. Public health experts and critics expressed concern that the order could lead to child deaths. They also warned it might undermine trust in the Department of Health and Human Services. Some observers noted the decision forces the administration back into a politically sensitive debate over vaccine safety.
