Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Signs Order to Reduce Childhood Vaccines
Caption: Trump Signs Order to Reduce Childhood Vaccines. US President Donald Trump has signed an order calling for fewer routine childhood vaccines. The order recommends 11 vaccines instead of the current 18 recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It also supports giving the measles, mumps and rubella vaccines separately rather than as a combined MMR shot. Trump claimed fewer vaccines were needed and questioned the safety of the combined MMR vaccine. However, health experts say there is no evidence that separating MMR shots provides any benefit. Multiple studies have found no link between MMR vaccines and autism. The order is guidance rather than a mandate, as school vaccination requirements are set by individual states. Experts warn that delaying or skipping vaccines could increase the risk of outbreaks of diseases such as measles. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
