Childhood Vaccine Policy Overhaul: Trump Signs Executive Order Cutting Recommended Shots

Trump signed a detailed executive order on childhood vaccines, cutting the recommended schedule from 18 to 11 shots, splitting MMR into separate doses, and threatening states with funding cuts if they don't comply. The order creates three categories of vaccines and emphasizes parental choice, despite strong opposition from the American Academy of Pediatrics and scientific consensus. Legal challenges and state-level resistance expected. This directly affects families with children and public health infrastructure.
