Trump administration plans to split MMR vaccine into three shots

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing an executive order that would alter the childhood vaccination schedule, specifically by splitting the MMR vaccine into three separate single-disease shots. This directive also aims to administer all childhood immunizations during individual medical visits, once single-disease products become available. The move follows recommendations from vaccine advisers and signals a renewed focus on vaccine policy ahead of upcoming elections, despite a lack of scientific evidence supporting the safety concerns raised.
