President Donald Trump has signed a presidential memorandum ordering a sweeping review of the U.S. childhood immunization schedule.
The directive, issued late Friday night, mandates that top health officials evaluate vaccine guidelines against those of peer developed nations, with a view to align American policy with the “best available science and common sense.”
In his announcement, Trump decried the current U.S. schedule as a national outlier, with “far more than is necessary” required for healthy children.
“Today, the CDC Vaccine Committee made a very good decision to END their Hepatitis B Vaccine Recommendation for babies, the vast majority of whom are at NO RISK of Hepatitis B, a disease that is mostly transmitted sexually, or through dirty needles.
The American Childhood Vaccine Schedule long required 72 “jabs,” for perfectly healthy babies, far more than any other Country in the World, and far more than is necessary.
In fact, it is ridiculous! Many parents and scientists have been questioning the efficacy of this “schedule,” as have I!
That is why I have just signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the Department of Health and Human Services to “FAST TRACK” a comprehensive evaluation of Vaccine Schedules from other Countries around the World, and better align the U.S. Vaccine Schedule, so it is finally rooted in the Gold Standard of Science and COMMON SENSE!
I am fully confident Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and the CDC, will get this done, quickly and correctly, for our Nation’s Children. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAHA!”
Thank you, Mr. President. We’re on it. https://t.co/WNaTH73CXB

According to the memo, the number of vaccines recommended for all children in 2025 stands at 18 diseases, including COVID-19, a total unmatched by comparable countries.
Read parts of the memo below:
“Peer, developed countries recommend fewer childhood vaccinations — Denmark recommends vaccinations for just 10 diseases with serious morbidity or mortality risks; Japan recommends vaccinations for 14 diseases; and Germany recommends vaccinations for 15 diseases.
Other current United States childhood vaccine recommendations also depart from policies in the majority of developed countries. Study is warranted to ensure that Americans are receiving the best, scientifically-supported medical advice in the world.
I hereby direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to review best practices from peer, developed countries for core childhood vaccination recommendations — vaccines recommended for all children — and the scientific evidence that informs those best practices, and, if they determine that those best practices are superior to current domestic recommendations, update the United States core childhood vaccine schedule to align with such scientific evidence and best practices from peer, developed countries while preserving access to vaccines currently available to Americans.”
The move comes on the heels of a decision by a newly re-constituted vaccine advisory panel to rescind universal newborn vaccination for Hepatitis B.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices approved a measure removing the universal hepatitis B vaccination guideline for infants under two months old.

According to Nicolas Hulscher, Epidemiologist and Administrator at the McCullough Foundation, “‘If adults won’t go for the shots, then give them to babies.’ This was the real reason behind the pharma-captured ACIP adding the Hepatitis B shot to the newborn schedule — as revealed by The New York Times in 1991. Big Pharma targets the babies when consenting adults refuse.”
