President Donald Trump signed an executive order on May 29 directing agencies to align with a scientific assessment that recommended fewer childhood vaccines.
Trump’s order references a scientific assessment by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that compared U.S. childhood vaccine recommendations with those of other developed nations.
