President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order on May 29, 2026 to initiate a review of the United States’ core childhood vaccine schedule. The order directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to examine a Department of Health and Human Services scientific assessment that compares U.S. recommendations with those of peer developed countries. The assessment finds the U.S. recommends more vaccines than any peer nation and recommends prioritizing 11 routine childhood vaccines while preserving flexibility for parents and clinicians. The order also requires all federal agencies to align regulations, funding, and coverage with any updated schedule and to inform state officials of federal policy. The move follows earlier presidential actions aimed at improving child health.
