WHO criticizes Trump administration's new vaccination guidelines

vaccination policy childhood immunization MMR vaccine WHO executive order

The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed strong concern regarding new vaccination guidelines issued by the Trump administration in the United States. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that these policy changes lack support from available scientific data and should not be driven by political influence.

An executive order signed by President Donald Trump introduces several changes to the U.S. childhood immunization schedule, including limiting the program to 11 basic vaccinations and increasing the time intervals between doses. The order also mandates the separation of the combined MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine into three individual shots. During the presentation of these guidelines, the President repeatedly referenced autism.

The WHO defended its existing immunization protocols, noting they are based on over 60 years of scientific research and independent expert evaluations. The organization emphasized that current evidence remains indisputable: vaccines, including the MMR vaccine, are safe and do not cause autism.
