Aligning United States Core Childhood Vaccine Recommendations with Best Practices from Peer, Developed Countries

President Donald Trump issued a memorandum directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to review and potentially revise the U.S. childhood vaccine recommendations. The goal is to align these recommendations with best practices from other developed countries, which typically suggest fewer vaccines. This action aims to ensure that American children receive scientifically-supported medical advice and vaccinations. The memorandum emphasizes maintaining access to currently available vaccines while updating the schedule if superior practices are identified.
