Trump orders realignment of U.S. childhood vaccine schedule, shifting power from mandates to parental choice
President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the CDC to align the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule with a January 2026 HHS assessment that found the U.S. recommends more vaccines than peer nations.
The order emphasizes parental authority, religious liberty and a shift from mandates to public trust, arguing that peer countries maintain high vaccination rates without coercion.
It follows a federal court ruling that paused previous reforms, including reducing the schedule from 17 to 11 diseases and delaying the MMRV vaccine.

The order mandates that vaccines remaining on the schedule must still be covered without cost-sharing by private insurance and public programs.
