Trump Calls for Changes to Childhood Vaccine Schedule

As schools reopen in the United States, President Donald Trump has called for changes to the childhood vaccine schedule. Trump argues that children should receive fewer vaccines and that the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine should be given separately. However, public health experts say that this change would not be beneficial for children.

Trump's comments are reminiscent of his previous attempts to alter the childhood vaccine schedule. Public health experts argue that changing the vaccine schedule would not be beneficial and that vaccines should be given separately.

This year, measles cases in the US have reached their highest level in 35 years. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported measles outbreaks in 45 states and the District of Columbia.
