New Mexico Defies Federal Vaccine Shift | Santa Fe News

New Mexico is doubling down on full childhood vaccine schedules, ignoring a federal executive order that pushes for fewer shots and spacing out doses—especially for MMR. The state’s health department insists science hasn’t changed and that their approach remains aligned with trusted pediatric guidelines. This isn’t the first time they’ve defied Washington; they’ve also resisted removing flu, COVID, and RSV recommendations. Experts warn the federal move could fuel vaccine distrust, even as debunked myths like “vaccines cause autism” resurface. Plus, the order suggests splitting MMR into three shots—but those aren’t available in the U.S., making the plan impractical for families. New Mexico’s stance? Stick to what works, protect kids, and keep things simple. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
