Consensus

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reduce the number of recommended childhood vaccines.
The order recommends reducing the number of vaccines from 18 to 11 for all children.
The MMR vaccine (against measles, mumps, and rubella) is to be administered as three separate injections instead of one combined dose.
The order has been criticized by medical and public health experts.
The change applies to recommendations, not mandatory requirements, and parents can still choose to vaccinate their children with additional vaccines.
