Trump orders MMR vaccine split and cuts childhood vaccine recommendations

President Trump signed an executive order recommending a cut in childhood vaccine recommendations from 18 to 11, spreading them out over time and splitting the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine into three separate shots. The move is not backed by scientific evidence and comes amid the worst measles outbreak in the US in decades. Medical experts warn the changes could put children's health at risk.
