Trump’s Vaccine Order Sparks Outcry | California News

President Trump just signed an executive order slashing childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, labeling six—including flu and hepatitis—as optional based on doctor-parent talks, pushing for single-dose shots over combos like MMR, and ordering the Justice Department to sue states that don’t prioritize parental exemptions. This move echoes long-standing anti-vax arguments, but experts warn it could slash protection, raise costs, and delay immunity—citing Japan’s mumps spike after splitting its vaccine. Plus, key changes like monovalent shots aren’t even available yet, requiring years of R&D. And since vaccine policy is state-controlled, many won’t follow this federal push, making widespread adoption unlikely.
