On May 29, 2026, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order directing the Department of Health and Human Services to align the United States core childhood vaccine schedule with best practices from peer, developed countries. The order follows a 2025 memorandum and a scientific assessment that found the U.S. recommends more childhood vaccines—and more doses than some European nations—than any peer country. The administration maintains that religious liberty and parental authority must be protected while pursuing evidence‑based recommendations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices are tasked with reviewing the assessment and, where law permits, updating the schedule. The order requires all federal agencies to align funding, regulations, and coverage with the new schedule, ensuring continued no‑cost‑sharing coverage by private insurers, Medicaid, CHIP, and the Vaccines for Children program. State officials will receive the assessment as a resource for vaccination laws.
