Trump signs order to limit childhood vaccines and split MMR shots

Dr Andrew Racine, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, called Trump's executive order "disheartening" and "dangerous", pointing out it comes as measles cases reach a 35-year high in the US.

President Donald Trump has signed an order that calls for fewer childhood vaccines and also recommends splitting the mumps, measles and rubella (MMR) shots.

Multiple studies have found no link between the MMR vaccine and autism.
