Trump’s Vaccine Order Sparks Debate | Toronto News

President Trump’s new executive order aims to slash the childhood vaccine schedule from 16 to just 11 shots, even proposing splitting the MMR vaccine into three separate visits — a bold move that’s already sparking fierce backlash from pediatricians, public health experts, and pharmaceutical giants. While Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had previously tried to cut six vaccines, this latest federal push is backed by the White House, citing America’s over-vaccination compared to other developed nations. Critics warn it could leave kids vulnerable to preventable diseases, while supporters argue it streamlines care and focuses on the most critical threats — all as legal challenges loom.
