US President Trump orders a review of child vaccination recommendations

In a significant move in national health policy, US President Donald Trump issued an executive order instructing American health agencies to align their vaccination recommendations with a government study published in January 2026. According to the report by NTD Hebrew News, which is identified with a conservative approach and often critical of the medical establishment, the study found that the number of vaccines recommended for children in the US is significantly higher compared to other countries.

According to NTD Hebrew News, the order directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to review the study's findings and act to "allow maximum flexibility for parents and doctors." The new recommendations suggest reducing the routine vaccination schedule to only 11 diseases, while additional vaccines, such as influenza, hepatitis, and rotavirus, will be given only to high-risk groups.

It should be noted that this is a direct continuation of previous attempts by the Trump administration in this field, which have previously faced legal opposition. As recalled, a federal court in Massachusetts previously blocked similar moves by the administration to reduce vaccines. In addition, the channel notes that Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy announced last year the cancellation of CDC recommendations for administering COVID vaccines to healthy children and pregnant women.

This source is considered to have a stance critical of the vaccination policy accepted by international health organizations, and the report reflects the political line of the current administration, which seeks to reduce state intervention in personal medical decisions.
