Doctors and Democratic lawmakers are warning that Donald Trump's new childhood vaccine order could confuse parents, burden families and undermine decades of evidence-based public health guidance.
Trump signed an executive order Monday recognising what his administration called 'Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations' for immunisations against 11 diseases. The order says immunisations for measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type B, pneumococcal disease, human papillomavirus and varicella should be recommended for all children.
