U.S. Childhood Vaccine Schedule Gets Slashed From 72 Jabs To Just 11

The executive action marks one of the most dramatic changes to childhood vaccination policy in the United States

By the stroke of a pen, flanked by the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, President Donald Trump has established a new U.S. childhood vaccine schedule that his administration says dramatically reduces the number of routine jabs from *72 to just 11.

The sweeping policy shift also calls for vaccines to be spread out across multiple visits rather than giving several injections to a child during a single medical appointment.

The executive action marks one of the most dramatic changes to childhood vaccination policy in the United States in decades and is being celebrated by President Trump and RFK Jr. as a major victory for their campaign to reform America’s public-health system.
