Donald Trump>>> has endorsed a January study by the United States — United States Department of Health and Human Services>>> that recommends reducing the number of vaccines for American children. An executive order directs federal agencies, including the United States — Centers for Disease Control and Prevention>>>, to align their policies with this study. The study suggests vaccinating against 11 diseases, with others recommended only for high-risk groups or through 'shared decision-making'. This move follows previous attempts by the Trump administration to narrow vaccine recommendations, which were blocked by a federal judge. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.>>>, a known vaccine skeptic, has been a proponent of this overhaul, having previously made controversial decisions such as changing COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women and replacing members of a United States — Centers for Disease Control and Prevention>>> vaccine advisory committee with skeptics. The order emphasizes providing flexibility to parents and doctors while ensuring continued access to vaccines. State governments, not the federal government, hold the authority to mandate vaccinations for schoolchildren, and some states are forming alliances to counter the Trump administration's guidance.
