Realigning United States Core Childhood Vaccine Recommendations With Best Practices From Peer, Developed Countries
This executive order directs the CDC and its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to review a prior HHS scientific assessment comparing U.S. childhood vaccine schedules with peer developed nations, and to update recommendations to provide more flexibility in timing and sequencing while preserving insurance coverage. It also mandates that all federal agencies align their immunization-related actions, regulations, and funding with the ACIP/CDC schedule and protect parental authority, religious freedom, and disability accommodations.
