2:20Now PlayingPresident Trump signed an executive order Monday to overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule by changing recommendations and seeking to space out some vaccines across separate medical visits.
"This updated recommendation finally aligns the United States with other advanced and developed nations around the world," the president said in the Oval Office. "More importantly, it aligns us with common sense and knowledge."
Under the new guidance, vaccines against 11 diseases — including measles, mumps, rubella, polio and whooping cough — would be recommended for all children.
Vaccines against several other diseases — including hepatitis A and B and meningococcal disease — would be recommended for certain high-risk groups or through shared decision-making between parents and health care providers.
Influenza and COVID-19 vaccines would fall into the shared decision-making category.
The order also recommends separating the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine into three different shots administered during separate visits. Separate vaccines for those diseases are not currently available in the U.S.
It further calls on states to update their school vaccine requirements to mirror the new guidance.
