Health‘Expensive distraction’: Doctors balk at Trump’s child vaccine overhaul

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday seeking to reshape the federal government’s approach to childhood vaccines. He insisted that infants should receive fewer immunizations spread over a longer period, even though little scientific evidence supports such sweeping changes. The broad order would reduce the total number of shots recommended during children’s earliest years. It would also divide the national childhood vaccine schedule into three categories. Doctors criticized the initiative as an “expensive distraction.”
