Trump’s Vaccine Policy Shift | Bakersfield News

President Trump just signed an executive order reshaping childhood vaccines — including a major push to eventually offer MMR as three separate shots instead of one, while keeping the combined version available. The plan also suggests spacing out vaccines across different doctor visits, raising concerns among experts about missed appointments and longer unprotected periods. Some vaccines like polio and chickenpox remain universally recommended, while others — including hepatitis and RSV — are now targeted only for high-risk kids. Flu and COVID shots will now be decided on a case-by-case basis with doctors and parents. Crucially, this doesn’t force parents to split shots — and medical experts reaffirm there’s no link between MMR and autism. The federal government is now charged with developing these new options while preserving current vaccine access. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
